Remembering 7th grade algebra

Surely everyone remembers basic algebra right

2 + 3 + 4 = 2 + (3 x 4) = (2 + 3) x 4 = (2 x 3) + 4 =

We know these answers are correct because we remember the golden rule of

Algebra Work the parenthetical operators first then the remainder of the equation The same principals apply to setting up a Boolean Search String The numbers are our

Keywords and how we manipulate them with Boolean commands makes all of the difference in the results we receive from a search engine

But we first have to understand Boolean commands

Basic Boolean Commands

AND = (a blank space between two or more words) or plus sign (+) or the word AND itself Find this term AND that term

OR = pipe key (shift + key) resulting in this | or the word OR itself Find this term OR that term

NOT (or AND NOT) = minus sign (-) or AND NOT or the word NOT itself

Boolean Commands - AND

AND ndash Find ldquothis thingrdquo AND find ldquothat thingrdquo

bull Most search engines assume AND as a blank space between words

bull Vice President Operations = Vice and President and Operations

Two Search Terms Three Search Terms

A B

A B

C

Boolean commands - OR

OR ndash Find ldquothis thingrdquo OR ldquothat thingrdquo

Can use OR itself or the pipe key | (shift )

A B

Term A OR Term B

Boolean commands - NOT

NOT ndash This ldquothis thingrdquo NOT ldquothat thingrdquo

Can use NOT itself sometimes AND NOT or the

minus sign ldquo-rdquo immediately adjacent to your knock-out term

-ldquoadministrative assistantrdquo

Term A NOT term B

A B

Boolean Commands ndash Quotes

Quotation marks ldquordquo tell a search engine to require words to be searched as a phrase in the exact order you typed them

ldquovice president operationsrdquo

ldquocenter of excellencerdquo

ldquochief technology officerrdquo -ldquoadministrative assistantrdquo

Boolean commands - Nesting

Nesting or using parentheses () tells the search engine to require the terms and operations contained inside them to be searched first

Parentheses MUST BE USED to group terms joined by an OR statement when there is any other Boolean operator in the search

Letrsquos look at a quick example which will illustrate the importance of nestinghellip

Boolean commands - Nesting

ldquoglobal warmingrdquo AND ldquosea level riserdquo AND (California OR ldquopacific coastrdquo)

This string requires the first two terms to appear somewhere in all documents AND either California or pacific coast in all documents too

Now the same search without the parentheses

ldquoglobal warmingrdquo AND ldquosea level riserdquo AND California OR ldquopacific coastrdquo

This string requires the first three terms to appear somewhere in all documents OR just documents containing pacific coast Thatrsquos a big

difference ndash do you understand the impact better now

Boolean Commands - Wildcards

Wildcard symbols can help to expand the scope of your search The most common is ldquordquo

Use for

Truncation this expands a search term to include all forms of a root word patent retrieves patent patents patentable patented etc

Multi-character wildcard for finding alternative spellings Use to indicate an unlimited number of characters within a word Behavir retreives behaviour or behavior
