Hi Laura,

If you're new to Boolean, this community is a great resource. 

Something that helped me with my boolean searches early (and I'm by no means anywhere close to an expert) is using Google's advanced search page: http://www.google.com/advanced_search

The great thing about this is that it will output the correct search term for you after you've filled in all the variables. So in your case, the search term would be:

research market -clinical

Hi Laura.. you can use the - symbol before the word you wanted to avoid in the search results.

Research Market -Clinical (no spaces between the minus symbol and the word)

you can use a minus sign example -Clinical in your search.
