Interestingly, we seemed to end up with all 3 of the same approaches. Was fun while it lasted

Wow, so funny we had the same approaches.

One thing I did which helped results a bit is invert negative queries...So if the query had a NOT in it, remove that, and choose the option with the fewest matches. Seemed to work pretty well.
Ah that's smart. I usually would just read the outputs of my script the opposite way (So find the "min" number of search results, etc.)
