Parenthesis with AND and OR should work.

Is it possible to exclude results eg by using the NOT or "-" command?

As far as I can tell, yes. Searching "Cubs" will get you a lot about the baseball team, but searching Cubs -chicago or Cubs NOT baseball doesn't get a lot of results for the baseball team.

- and NOT seem to work.

The fourth result when you search for "DuckDuckGo" is DDG's iTunes application.
When you search for "DuckDuckGo NOT iTunes" or "DuckDuckGo -iTunes" however, the iTunes application does not appear in the top results.

It would be really helpful if someone could link to a help or reference page at duckduckgo that fully explains how to use boolean operators and parenthesis. Every search I do just confirms that yes it is possible with a few simple examples. But some of us like to know everything spelled out in detail, preferably straight from the horses mouth--so to speak.
