 with a more elegant syntax than 'without_s'. For example, we have
 'search_terms'; maybe we could add something like
 `'search_terms__not_in'`. Or maybe we could add boolean operators to the
 search, so that `'search_terms' => array( '-tiger', 'lion' )` will match
 posts *with* 'lion' but *without* 'tiger'. See
 https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2466433?hl=en for a list of
 what Google supports.

 What about `search_terms_exclude` as an argument name? I also like the
 boolean operator approach, especially since it's already in use other
 places in core. The latter seems like a more-elegant approach.
