I searched with the keyword: javascript tutorial taking note of the phrase: building tutorials with lots of examples as seen in the image below:

Search result on Google for the keyword javascript tutorial

Then I excluded it by combining the exclusion sign i.e. - and exact word matching character i.e. the double quotes which gives us: javascript tutorial -"building tutorials with lots of examples".

This produces different results excluding that phrase as seen in the image below:

Google search result excluding the phrase "building tutorials with lots of examples"

You should know that in the first search without the exclusion the search result was 1.2 billion, and with the exclusion it's 3.2 billion.

I hope this helps.
