This guide shows you how to use Boolean operators, AND, OR in your search.
Combining your keywords or phrases with AND / OR allows you to broaden or narrow your search results.
The AND operator will find all records that contain all the specified search terms. This will usually reduce the number of search results. Example:
health AND food
This search will bring up results that contains both health and food.
The OR operator will find all records that contain either one of the specified search terms. Typically this will broaden the search results. Example:
health OR food
This search will bring up results that contain either health or food.
