"Fairbanks fat bike rental" returns
- Rented a Fatbike - Review of Beaver Sports, Fairbanks, AK
- "Rent a Bicycle and Explore Fairbanks"

Are you complaining that the subsequent hits are elsewhere? Perhaps it's because there are no others?

I tried "sjc limebike" and got nothing about ignoring terms. What I got was
-The San Jose Blog: LimeBike coming

And "Limebike in San Jose" returned many. many results

If you're looking for a search engine that will perfectly read you mind, rather then statistically guessing at what you want, I'm going to venture a guess that you won't find one.
