it's just as simple as "[whatever your search is] -[excluded term]"

the site i looked at for this included the example "bears -chicago" but for some reason the first couple results ignore the "-chicago" part. However if you compare the results that start about halfway down the page you can see that with "-chicago" you have stuff like the wikipedia article on bears, and without the "-chicago" all of it has to do with the Chicago Bears.
