am picturing a bunch of suited clones in gray cubicles now -
Google's advanced search function has been ripped to shreds and is only a microcosm of what it once was - I just fired off a huge complaint about it - am flabbergasted they'd take one of the best search criteria command pages and absolutely obliterate it like they did - !!
what's the Net coming to ???
fyi, there doesn't seem to be a way to eliminate .com from search results any more - a vital function for researchers -
arghhhhh!!!!!!!!  |

You might want to learn the Google advanced search operators.
http://www.googleguide.com/advanced_operators.html
Then you wouldn't have to depend on the limited "advanced search" page. You can find anything from the google search bar with the correct operators. |

I checked and the "not" operator wasn't there.
I tried using the "not" .com and it didn't work.
maybe using the "-" sign will???
at any rate, they didn't leave an explanation how to do this. It was much simpler before, you just chose "don't" include from this domain....
