You could block virtually all advertisement and even use controversial
gateways like Scroogle. Boolean operations and the like are useless unless
they produce good (relevant) results. The way Google builds indices (which
seems to work admirably well) does not support the same levels of query
complexity. It's a design choice.
With kind regards,
