exactly, it's more generic. it doesn't have a stigma of blocking out
something naughty, it's merely excluding results that you don't want to
see. a "no porn" button raises all sorts of "what's porn" and "where's
the no copyrighted materials button" issues, but "NOT ______" merely
acknowledges the exclusion of certain keywords.
A search result would then just be the intersection of the terms results
and the NOT results.
