Bar Ilan Software Support - Negating Search Components

   

In your Bar Ilan Software if you want to make sure that a certain word or form is not retrieved, type a minus sign (i.e., a hyphen) immediately before that word. Or double-click the word, and then click the Negate Component button.

    For example, if you want to locate all phrases beginning with the word יום except for the phrases יום כיפור and יום הכיפורים, type:

יום  -(כיפור/הכיפורים)

•    You can only negate one group of key words (i.e., one “search component”) in a given search request. Thus, you cannot specify a search request such as
-מן  יום  -(כיפור/הכיפורים)

if you want to find passages in which the word יום appears without מן before it or כיפור/הכיפורים after it.
