I wanted to look up the connecton between Martin Luther and fishing, but the first two pages were all about "Martin Luther King". Not to disparage that other great man, that is not what I was looking for. How do you exclude criteria in a search? Another example would be to Google "Monty", but exclude "Python". |

And of course Monty -python. As simple as that. |

For Martin Luther, maybe "Lutheran" only – For "Monty" try adding "Full" |

To find out more goodies about searching, click on "Advanced Search" next to the input field, then click on "Advanced Search Tips" at the top right of that next page. Or go directly here: link |

You could add terms which apply only to Martin Luther and not MLK, such as "protestant reformation," "95 thesis," etc., but that might not turn up the fishing quote (assuming he actually said it). Including the word "fishing" or "fish" would also probably help eliminate a lot of unrelated links. |

Fishing Lutherans? Who would have guessed? |

My dad's always running into that problem when he's looking for pictures of pussy cats. |

The wikiquote page ( link ) has no mention of fish, but that's hardly definitive. |

Say it in a German accent? |

I was looking for stuff about roadbuilding, but googling 'Hardcore Slag' seemed to have nothing. And that concludes my case for the defence. |
