How do I block certain words from showing in Mozilla Support search (as a filtering technique)?
Hello Volunteers,
I have repeatedly had issues with Firefox updates killing the Norton Tool Bar. Hope this is not a reflection of the Mozilla mind set towards Norton/Symantec because it is a big corporation. To me it's one of the groups of people who are trying to keep web surfing a safe and sane activity. There are nearly a hundred log-ins in my Identity Safe (a major function of the Norton Tool Bar) keeping me sane as it seems I have to log-in on every other site I visit. With the release of Firefox 37.0.1 there has been no mention that I've seen of compatibility with the Norton Tool Bar. When I try to use "Search Mozilla Support" in an effort to find out, over half of the results that are shown relate to "Searching fron the Address Bar." Just would like to be able to stop certain results from being shown when they are not realative to the issue at hand. I made 2 attempts to block the word "search" from the results, but, was unsuccessful each time.

You could try the "Advanced Search" page: https://support.mozilla.org/search/advanced
By default, words are combined using "OR" so in order to combine words, you can use quotation marks around words that need to be together and the plus sign between individual words that need to be found in the results.
Looking in the support forum for norton + identity for Firefox in posts since 3/23/2015 yielded this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/search/advanced?q=norton+%2B+identity&num_voted=0&num_votes=&asked_by=&answered_by=&q_tags=&product=firefox&created=0&created_date=&updated=2&updated_date=03%2F24%2F2015&sortby=0&a=1&w=2
I should mention that Norton is very good at releasing updates just-in-time for major Firefox releases. The ability of LiveUpdate to immediately retrieve those updates isn't quite as good: users often report needing to try it several times before it succeeds.
