Ways to Enter Your Keywords
More than one keyword can be entered. Keywords can be combined together with Boolean operators, and parenthesis can be used to alter the evaluation order of the Boolean operators. An exact phrase of several words can be searched for. A wildcard character is available as well.
1. Keyword(s): You can enter more than one keyword by using the addition and subtraction symbols, the words and, or, and NOT and parenthesis to define your search.
AND: leave a simple blank space between two keywords or use the word 'AND'.
Example: 'animal canada' or 'animal AND canada' finds all articles that contain both animal AND canada
OR: Use the word 'OR' or insert the plus sign '+' between two keywords
Example: 'animal + canada' or 'animal OR canada' finds all articles that contain animal OR canada or both.
NOT: Use the minus sign '-' or use the word 'NOT' in front of the word you do not want included in your results.
Example: 'canada - animal' or 'canada NOT animal' will find all the articles regarding canada but NOT containing animal.
Note: If you specify complex searches with more than one operator, the order in which they are evaluated is:
What you write | What the system searches for |
soccer (milan + inter) championship | soccer AND (milan OR inter) AND championship |
Same example, but without parenthesis:
What you write | What the system searches for |
soccer milan + inter championship | (soccer AND milan) OR (inter AND championship) |
Example: "travel to new york." In this example, the articles are searched for by the exact sequence of the words in the phrase.
Example:
"travel to New York" (plane + train) means:
"travel to New York" AND (plane OR train)
Example : 'travel*' finds all articles containing words starting with 'travel' (including travel, travels, traveling, travelers, etc.)
The wild-card operator will NOT work within an exact phrase.
