I would like to search history, but exclude certain sites or words from the results. How?

So, I have a fairly large browser history that I keep for a long time. There are some sites in it that I've not visited very often, but trying to find them with a particular search returns a whole bunch of data that is from a site that isn't the one I'm looking for. I'd like to exclude certain sites from a history search, but there doesn't seem to be any documentation about how to do that.

Is it even possible to exclude words from history results?

What search engine are you using there should be settings within that you should be able to set from?
