Poor replies from search engine.

I'm searching for military awards issued by the current government of Vietnam. All I get are American awards, I have my own thank you, for the war in Vietnam. I seem to not be able to create a proper search string.

Take a look at Category:Military awards and decorations of Vietnam and you will find many awards and decorations. You can read our articles, or use their names a search strings. For example you can read Hero of the People's Armed Forces or search "Anh hùng lực lượng vũ trang nhân dân" Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you're Googling, you can use a minus sign before each term you don't want, like "American" or "United States". Not sure about other engines, but more probably do this than don't. InedibleHulk (talk) 17:14, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
