Oh; this does not work on Google, does it? I tried Cherry AND Washington NOT George and I got a bunch of pages with George Washington, Cherry, And and Not.

Google does not use NOT to exclude a term, it use '-' instead. Different databases may use different term or symbol for an operation.

google puts and automaticly between all words if you don´t put there other operator.

instead of NOT google uses - (minus)

OR works in google but you have to write it in capitals
