You should also note that the Exclusion Phrase is searched in the same manner
that the other Search Phrases are searched. That is to say, that with our first
example of “of the Lord” excluding “the angel of the Lord”, the phrase “an angel
of the Lord” would not be excluded, because it doesn't match “the angel of the
Lord”.
To also remove the phrase “an angel of the Lord”, you can either put two
Exclusion Phrases, one for each, or you can make use of the OR-Operator and
enter both exclusions on the same Search Phrase:
As you can now see, the phrase “the angel of the Lord | an angel of the Lord”
was found 68 times and all 68 were removed from the 1744 occurrences of the
phrase “of the Lord”, yielding 1676 contributing occurrences of the phrase “of
the Lord” in our final Search Result.
Up until now, we've only been looking at
the “Search Results” view in our Search
Results Pane. There are a number of
other views that the Search Results Pane
can show, one of which is the “Excluded
Search Results”.
You can switch to “Excluded Search
Results” in the View Menu or the Context
Menu for the Search Results Pane, just like
you can switch the other View Modes:
