OK, the "-cvs" does help. I didn't realize you could filter out things so easily. So from now on, I will just "-junk -garbage" to filter out things that are not relevant. I've heard that if enough people do a search a certain way, Google will start doing it by default. For example, on the latest diggnation episode, they talk about how if you search on one of their names, it brings up a picture - since Google noticed people always followed a text search by clicking on the image links. Maybe they will start to filter out freebsd searches if most of them have the -cvs option. thanks!
