The sense of "nonpolluting" is apparently not in any other dictionary or in any Google Books search result. --Espoo (talk) 05:18, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- I'm not sure how, given over 50 pages of Google Books results, you could say that that sense is not in Google Books. Looking at google books:exhaustless cars and similar searches, I've found four clear uses of the word in the sense of "not having exhaust".--Prosfilaes (talk) 07:14, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- This Google Books search yields many raw hits and more than a dozen unduplicated hits apparently with the appropriate sense. DCDuring (talk) 12:12, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
- I used the search google books:exhaustless pollution, which seemed to produce no relevant results. Closer examination shows at least 2 results, so i guess i was tired at the time. I was so impressed by the seeming lack of pages using both words at least somewhere in the sense of nonpolluting that i didn't even think of searching for pages using the terms car and exhaustless, so i must have been very tired. Thanks for showing me the search option using | . Can u give a link to a good explanation of Google search options? --Espoo (talk) 05:02, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
- The most helpful page i was able to find just now was this one. They seem to favor an approach to search that reminds me of Wikimedia Visual Editor. Also their documentation doesn't mention "|", favoring "OR". DCDuring (talk) 13:00, 31 March 2019 (UTC)
