What is the correct boolean statement for... ONLY (A+B+C) and can I expect search engines to execute this?

There's no boolian for "omit all else". Plus, I'll guess there's no webpages out there with only a+b+c on them.

Am I misunderstanding something?

Can you give an example of a search of the type you are imagining?

I think you understand the problem.

Of course I am trying to avoid getting a 100 sites to sift through every time I run a search.

I thought that Boolean had a NOT statement that could be combined to develop an "exclusive" result.

If your search results are only 100 pages, then you're really doing great!

Hi,
You might also consider that the first couple of pages of search links are the most relevant. And, if you haven't tried http://www.dogpile.com, it is a good one.
Best wishes,

Also having success with "location" feature of Google Advanced i.e. in body of text, in URL, in title, etc.

Oh... and I'd forgotten.

There are some search tricks that Google does not advertise. I found them in a cool book called Google Hacks.

I've got a few of them here.
