Exclusions in Full Text Search?
I'm trying to search for mystery novels in my library that are set in Scotland. Full Text Search finds the word A LOT, but so far, always followed by "Yard", for obvious reasons. Is there a way to do a full text search for "Scotland" -" Yard" ?

That worked great, thanks! I tried it with NOT NEAR (Yard) and the results were identical, so thanks to your kind help, I've learned something already today.
