Desperately seeking Paul Pope

[hmpf]

Anybody here have any idea how to search databases, the internet etc. for Paul Pope - without ending up with ten thousand results for pope Paul?

Did you try searching "Paul Pope"?

Arrrgh.

No. But I do usually know about that little 'trick'.

I must have left my brain at home today. *g*

Yeah, that's a good trick. And you can also try adding other words (THB, comic book, graphic novel) that would narrow down the selection. :)

Yeah, I know...

problem is, he's done all kinds of things (art, fashion etc.), so it's possible that there are useful articles out there that don't even contain the word 'comics' (or 'THB', or 'graphic novels'). Though, yeah, it's quite likely that most articles do.

I'm not so good at using databases yet. That a lot of them seem to have subtly different search methods doesn't exactly help...

Go to advanced search on Google; for exact phrase, enter "Paul Pope"; for "any of these unwanted words" enter "Pope Paul"-- you should get this

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=Paul+Pope&as_oq=&as_eq=%22Pope+Paul%22&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images

Oh.

I didn't know you could exclude terms. Useful.

(Though I feel rather sheepish now - I should have taken a closer look at the advanced search before asking, really. As I said above, I must have left my brain at home today.)

's normal. I spent a year cussing at my search function on Firefox before I realized there was a little box I'd accidentally checked to make my searches case-sensitive.
