I just don't know what I'm doing different, I'm just keyword searching and using a couple of inclusive/exclusive flags.

Was I the frog in the pot and now I'm cooked? I don't feel like in search Google any different from maybe 2005 or so.

How do you get the inclusion/exclusion to work? My last few attempts to use “-x” really didn’t exclude what I expected, and almost all the results had “x”. I have seen massive changes since 2005.
