Help: Boolean searching
When searching with one or more keywords, we highly recommend using Boolean search techniques. Boolean search allows you to combine keywords with operators (or modifiers) such as AND, NOT and OR to produce more relevant results.
- AND
Search results must include the keyword from both sides.
Example:
Java AND HTML
- OR
Search results must include the keyword from either side.
Example:
CA OR NV OR AZ
- NOT
Search results must not include the keyword that follows it.
Example:
Manager NOT Sales
- Phrases
Search for combined words or phrases by enclosing the words within quotation marks.
Example:
"Project Management"
- Wildcards
Find partial word matches by using wildcards.
Example:
Manag* (matches manager, management, managing etc.)
A variety of different Boolean terms can be included within the same search string; however you may need to include brackets to change the order of precedence:
(Java OR HTML) AND London
(Java AND HTML) AND ("San Jose" OR "San Francisco")
Java AND (Developer OR Engineer)
