Choosing Key Words and Key Phrases

How effectively this program will work is determined by your selection of keywords. The process of selecting keywords is not too complicated if you keep these two basic rules in mind.

  1. A single word will block all windows containing that word in the title. Use the shortest possible form of the word. Example: The keyword porn will block porn, pornographic, and pornography. Do not use plurals. The keyword explosive will block explosive, explosives, and explosively whereas the keyword explosives will only block explosives. Single words can be a problem if a longer word contains the keyword. If I enter the keyword hat it will block all words containing hat within themselves. Hat will block chatter for example. This keyword system has been designed to recognize blank spaces before and after the keyword. If I precede the keyword hat with a space when entering it, it will block all words starting with hat such as hate. If I enter the keyword hat followed by a space it will block all words ending with hat. Chat for example. If I put a space before and after the keyword hat it will only block the word hat.
  2. A group of words (a phrase) will block only those pages with the entire phrase in the title. It is a more selective method. The keyword phrase must be identical to the title phrase as far as spelling and spacing between words. It does not matter if you use upper or lower case letters. Use phrases whenever practical in preference to single keywords.
