We are going to build on our knowledge by introducing additional operators, as well as some content-specific syntax that will come in handy. Now let's take a look at additional operators and syntax that can further refine your searches.
“apple orchard*” gets us singular and plural forms such as "apple orchard s").Ībove we introduced you to Boolean search and the most basic set of operators (AND, OR, NOT). * asterisk can be as a wildcard to capture different beginnings and ends of a word (e.g. ( ) parentheses are used to group alternative terms “ “ quotation marks must be used for phrases We, therefore, need to carefully consider how we use the operators to structure our searches and prevent false negatives.Ī few notes on syntax beyond the AND, OR, NOT operators: Note that by adding iPhone as an exclusion term (NOT) in the second scenario, we run the risk of excluding results that include watch or iWatch, as the iPhone and the watch are product categories that are often mentioned together. Narrow the search by excluding all mentions of the iPhone: apple AND (watch OR iwatch) NOT (IPHONE or "apple sauce" OR "apple juice" OR "apple orchard*") iPhone): apple AND (watch OR iwatch OR IPHONE) NOT ("apple sauce" OR "apple juice" OR "apple orchard*")Ģ.
