Question

i need to know quickly.

Answer 1

A simple lesson in Boolean searching is available and advisable to those who are unfamiliar with this method.

It is possible to compose some complex search expressions using Boolean logic on this search system. To do so, use the following terms:

'AND' (Boolean AND)

'OR' (Boolean OR)

'AND NOT' (Boolean NOT)

Parentheses can also be used when conducting an advanced search.

For example: art AND (school OR college) - this expresses a search for records containing information about art schools or colleges.
