 Instead, use a _grouping search_ — as described below.
 ### Grouping search
 You can group search terms by enclosing terms with parentheses ''( ... )''. Having the highest precedence, parentheses may be used to force precedence.
-For example, the query ''\[ dokuwiki -(plugin | @plugin) \]'' will find pages which contain a word "DokuWiki" but not contain a word "plugin" and also are not within a namespace "plugin".
+For example, let's say we want to find Robert Cahaly mentioned, but not in the context of John Birch Society _nor_ in the context of Georgia.
+The query would be ''\[ Cahaly -(JBS | Georgia) \]'', and it will find pages which do contain the word "Cahaly" but not contain the word "JBS" and also not contain the word "Georgia".
