exactly, it's more generic. it doesn't have a stigma of blocking out something naughty, it's merely excluding results that you don't want to see. a "no porn" button raises all sorts of "what's porn" and "where's the no copyrighted materials button" issues, but "NOT ______" merely acknowledges the exclusion of certain keywords. A search result would then just be the intersection of the terms results and the NOT results. owen _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
