   I don't see that at all.   
      
   If I narrow down the search with -bad_keyword then all the bogus hits   
   are usually eliminated from that unwanted source.   
      
   Where I do see a problem is +wanted_keyword doesn't always work :(   
   (sites I know to contain the last keyword added don't always show up)   
      
   Try adding successive terms to this Google search:   
      
   Yorkshire +castle +BEST +Howard -lake   
      
   By default search terms are logically or together of the keywords if you   
   don't add the prefix or surround a phrase with quotes.
