I just wanted to mention that excluding strings has been broken for me off-and-on over the last month at least.

Not directly relevant to anything except how lame google has become.

Only a month? I don't recall the last time it actually worked. I always end up having to do -"string" and put it in quotation marks, kind of like telling Google "why, yes, this thing I put that minus sign in front of really is something I don't want to see in my results."
