In its most simple use, library databases are searched. There are no spaces immediately before or after the colon. In Boolean search mode words are searched exactly as they are typed. Boolean Operators ( AND, OR, NOT) are commands used to make your search strategy more concise. The syntax for all operators must be precise. Let’s take a look at the operators that Bing allows you to use first.

Options are symbols that further extend searches. Operators are like advanced keywords that help to focus your searches. For example, you can use, annb, or 'Ann Beebe' to specify the user Ann Beebe. If you want to refine them even further you can add options. 1 For the value of a recipient property, you can use the SMTP address, display name, or alias to specify a user. You can fine tune the results in Bing for any search you make by combining what you’re searching for with an operator. This is useful if a word is spelled in different ways, but still has the same meaning. There are many of them and they can be combined together to make your searches incredibly powerful. Truncation symbols may vary by database common symbols include:, ,, or Wildcards: Similar to truncation, wildcards substitute a symbol for one letter of a word. This will produce results that include both keywords.

For example, a Boolean search string for recruiting Android developers should include ‘developer AND android’. Boolean Algebra also deals with symbols and the rules that govern the operations on these symbols but the difference lies in what these symbols represent. So instead of seeing millions of results for your search, you only see results that match precisely what you’re looking for. Here are the basic operators for Boolean search strings for recruiters: AND When you want to include two (or more) criteria in your search, the operator AND narrows down your search. Search operators are very powerful commands you add to your queries to tell a search engine to return a very specific result set. In cases like these, search operators filter out the noise to return laser-targeted results. However, if you’re looking for something very specific, broad searches create a lot of results that you have to sift through to find a result that specifically answers your needs. Most of them pretty accurately match what you’re looking for right? When you use a search engine to make a search, you often get millions of results. Connecting words, also known as Boolean operators, tell the computer which keywords you want your results to include or exclude. If you’ve never heard of search operators before and don’t know what they are, I’ve written a detailed overview here: What are Search Operators? If you’re pressed for time though, I’ll summarize below.
