I HATE how google shows you results for ford fiesta when you specifically search festiva. THEY ARE TWO DIFFERENT CARS!!!! It's not even at the point where it asks you "did you mean FORD FIESTA?" and you have to click that for fiesta results, it just ASSUMES they are the same thing. :thumbs_down::thumbs_down::thumbs_down::thumbs_dow n:

I put Ford Festiva in Google and got 20 PAGES of Festiva stuff. The top two items above the line on each page were for Ford Fiesta. I believe the above the line listings are paid for.Originally posted by db2u View Post
Considering how much information is available free on Google, I can ignore anything I'm not interested in.

Type in "Festiva -Fiesta".
Just put a negative sign in front of any word you don't want displayed.Last edited by bravekozak; 12-06-2013, 09:40 PM.Comment

Works with ebay as well. Example:Originally posted by bravekozak View Post
Festiva, -LED
Really cleans up your ebay search :p
Also, why the heck does eBay not have the option to list your Festiva, why do we have to list it as a Fiesta!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Probably for the same reason autotrader.ca doesn't list Festiva any more in the Ford category.Originally posted by Charlie1717 View Post
You must use Advanced Search, then Refine with Keywords.
autotrader.com still has it!Last edited by bravekozak; 12-06-2013, 10:08 PM.Comment

Syntax. Just for you, cut and paste next time. There is no space between the dash and any word you don't want. You must include a dash in front of each word if there are multiples. Try again.Originally posted by old yellow View Post

ok I should clarify so you guys dont think I am stupid. I was searching something for ford festiva plus something else... not just "Ford Festiva". Since it didn't find many results it just threw fiesta in there too. Yes I know you can just put a -fiesta at the end, but my point is google should just not assume they are the same thing. They could improve their results so much more if they would let you flag search results as not relevant...Oldest Festiva on the forum (so far) 3/87 LX - 225k
