---- Correct way to use negative words?

I have already found out (at a little expense I might add) that

-[widgets]

does NOT WORK. Don't even try to do it.

I was trying to exclude the word widgets when it was used by itself for a search
since [widgets] means show the ad for just the word widgets by itself.

You'd think they would allow expressions like that but they don't.
And worse, it won't warn you of an invalid entry, it just thinks you are trying to exclude
the phrase brackets and all (brackets which you can't use on google)
