BOOLEAN OPERATORS

Boolean operators form the basis of mathematical sets and database logic.

  • They connect your search words to narrow or broaden your results.
  • The three basic boolean operators are ANDOR, and NOT.

Why use Boolean operators?

  • To focus a search, mainly when your topic contains multiple search terms.
  • To connect various pieces of information to find exactly what you're looking for.
