>>> Louis Braille +Birthday +200

>>> And you are down to about 8,600 hits.

>>> Now lets get really extreme and go for the following:
>>>
>>> louis Braille +Birthday +200 -UK -France +USA

>>> Now we've added a minus sign to eliminate any results that have a

>>> And we're down to 1,230 hits.

>>> Are you getting the general idea?

>>> Now for another trick. One of the items I found above, refers to:

>>> But if I type that in, I get 51,100 hits. BUT, if I enclose it in

>>> "tactile communication system for the blind"
