A pinch of salt … A dash of Deepwater

Researching BP-British Petroleum?

If you want to view Deepwater related stuff, that’s easy.

On Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/), for example, enter the following search string …

"british petroleum" deepwater

But what if you want everything EXCEPT Deewater?

Here’s a TIP: add a DASH. The DASH stands for NOT, so your search string would be …

"british petroleum" -deepwater

The results will reflect articles written by or about British Petroleum, EXCLUDING those mentioning Deepwater.
