Pretty sure I did that right...
 
user435118
@Spevacus Looks right I'm just wondering you did [\W]*+ which is the same as [\W]*?
 
Just following along with what previous entries prefer to do. For example, the blacklisted keyword directly before the one I just added is natures[\W_]*+method[\W_]*+cbd(?:[\W_]*+(?:review|oil|price|uk|united|kingdom|australia|nz|new|zealand|gummies|\d++|[\da-f]{5,}+)s?)* , which uses [\W]*+
So eh. Just doing what I've seen others do for the same scenarios.

A: What is the difference between .*? and .* regular expressions?

polygenelubricantsOn greedy vs non-greedy Repetition in regex by default is greedy: they try to match as many reps as possible, and when this doesn't work and they have to backtrack, they try to match one fewer rep at a time, until a match of the whole pattern is found. As a result, when a match finally happens, ...

 
Regex101 considers *+ as "possessive" and *? as "lazy" but I'm not sure what those labels really mean.

@Spevacus There's quite a few legitimate posts on SE with garmin\.com. OTOH, it is used in some spam to give the impression that some other site is legitimate. In an attempt to have something which at least misses some of the FP, let's try:
!!/watch garmin\.com(?<![>"]https?://(?:[a-z\d-]\.)*garmin\.com)
You can't search using variable length look-behinds on MS, but searching on MS for the following regex should get close to what the above will do: garmin\.com(?<![>"]http://www.garmin.com)(?<![>"]https://www.garmin.com)(?<![>"]http://garmin.com)(?<![>"]https://garmin.com)(?<![>"]http://buy.garmin.com)(?<![>"]https://buy.garmin.com)(?<![>"]http://developerportal.garmin.com)(?<![>"]https://developerportal.garmin.com)
