I've tried that previously. Including a non-exclude criteria along with the exclusion doesn't help to perform exclusion. In this example I've attached, I want to exclude "web session" and include "algebra" by using the syntax [-"web session" "algebra"]. However, as you can see, it's return contents with "web session". In fact, the search result is exactly the same as ["web session" "algebra"]. The - symbol that's supposed to execute exclusion doesn't anything. Since no one else seems to have the same problem, am I missing something simple here?
