I wish it was that easy. There are multiple threads on similar topics and while it's mostly Google's "fault", the search-based locations aren't as accurate as we like.

Example: In my neighborhood a local elementary school has partnered with the Barnes & Noble book store chain in some sort of reading initiative. This leads OmniFocus, when doing a Google search, to find this school and send me there if I have a search established for B&N, merely because the school has plastered B&N's name all over their website.

My Google-Fu is relatively good, and even so I cannot create searches via OR (or other parameters) - as seen in this (misspelled) thread:
