There are more search engines in the universe than TFSE of the Hive, google for example. With that you can find companies selling labware (or colleges teaching lab skills) and see that they refer to the rubber thingies as...
half of them talk about a thread with the title membership infiltration?Such a problem is common, and then you either use the radio-buttons to the right in TFSE to for example exclude the Couch if you are searching for chemistry stuff, or another more powerful method is to use boolean operators, so instead of a basic search for "
filtration" (which would give both hits about vacuum filtration and in
filtration) you write "
filtration NOT infiltration" (the NOT operator excludes the word which follows from the search), resulting in only the desirable hits being listed.

vacuum filtration"? You should really read my TFSE User's guide:
