 EV> I made a Search on DuckDuckGo for the PS/2 Connector by only entering
 EV> PS/2 .

 EV> The Results List only showed Playstation 2 links.

 EV> I can't figure out how to do a Search using a NOT to filter out
 EV> unwanted results showing in the list.

it depends on the engine... the ones i use remove results with the minus so
i'd probably search for

  "ps/2" -playstation

i'd use the double quotes like that to keep those pieces together because a
lot of engines remove symbols and special characters so searching for "ps/2"
is actually a search for the sequence "ps 2"...

but you probably should refine your search terms to be more specific... are
you looking for male ps/2 or female ps/2?

  male "ps/2" keyboard connector

  male "ps/2" mouse connector

or

  "male DIN" to "ps/2 female" connector

or

  "female USB" to "ps/2 female" adaptor

and with all of those, if playstation kept coming up, i'd add "-playstation"
to them without the quotes...
