I am looking on Ebay for a battery for an older laptop I have. I used 
the following search, assembled in their search bar:


http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_sop=15&_nkw=compaq+presario+v5000+battery&_ipg=200&rt=nc


This turned up a bunch of chargers 1st, which I don't want. Is there a 
way to add a 'negate' to the search string ? I tried adding 
'+(!charger)' to the URL text-string & got *only* chargers. FWIW, I am 
doing this under FBSD 9.3R, XFCE desktop, firefox, all FreeBSD, just to 
make it peripherially on topic :-) .... TIA for any (quick, don't bang 
any heads on walls over this) clues.
