title: Youtube api search query exclude multiple words
body: <p>I'm trying to set the q param for youtube 'search' api request to <strong>exclude</strong> a phrase with multiple words. </p>
  
  <p>E.g I want to exclude the phrases "Cardi B" and "Ed Sheeran" from my results. 
  I tried some variations based on the documentation here:
  <a href="https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/search/list</a>
  but could not depict the right way. </p>
  
  <p>This will exclude all four words (anything that has 'cardi or 'b' or 'ed' or 'sheeran' inside it):</p>
  
  <p>q = "-cardi -b -ed -sheeran"</p>
  
  <p>This will try to match those that don't have Cardi but do have B, don't have ed but do have sheeran, (plus is replaced by space):</p>
  
  <p>q = "-cardi+b -ed+sheeran"</p>
  
  <p>how do I exclude all videos that contain "Ed Sheeran" or "Cardi B"?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using the JAVA api but this syntax applies to all sdks</p>
  
  <p>Thank's alot</p>
