Terms and Connectors Searching

Overview: 'Terms and Connectors' searching, (or Boolean searching), is the traditional way to search for information in most text-retrieval services. In this type of searching, one uses words and connectors to create phrases and concepts based on specific rules of search logic.

Objective: In this module you will be able to answer the following questions:

  • How do I search with the 'And' connector?
  • How do I search with the 'Or' connector?
  • How do I search with 'Proximity Connectors'?
  • How do I search with 'Universal Characters'?
  • How do I perform an 'Exact Phrase' search?
