Isn't it the opposite problem? It's not ignoring "dividend" but the search brings up too many results to be useful - as it's too common?
On its own, maybe. But as a qualifier in a search it should
reduce the number of results.
I specifically wanted to search for "Barclays dividend" and instead got hundreds of results that just included "Barclays"
This is one of those situations where Google search is likely to give highly improved results over the limited internal search facilities here.
Google search can be asked to only look on specific sites, so we're able to force it to look at
lemonfool.co.uk, and then we can add words to search for with a '+' between the words, which means that returned Lemon Fool pages will contain both '
Barclays'
and '
dividend' if required.
In addition to that, we can then ask Google search to limit returned pages based on timescales, so on the example below, we're using all the above tricks to limit returned pages from the past year, although other options for a number of other default timescales are available (
hour / day / week / month), as well as a facility to define a custom date-range too...
For anyone interested in investigating the above Google Search process, here's the above Google Search URL link itself that will show the above example in action -
https://www.google.com/search?q=site:lemonfool.co.uk+barclays%2Bdividend&tbs=qdr:yNote from the above URL search results, that Google Search is clever enough to return both '
Barclays+dividend' results, as well as '
Barclays+dividends' results too, which is also another useful intelligent-search benefit of using the above Google process for these types of more granular searches...
