Search Using Boolean Operators

Conduct powerful searches using three Boolean operators: "Or," "And" and "Andnot." Terms linked by the "Or" operator return only those sites that match any one particular term. Terms linked by the "And" operator deliver only those sites that match all of the search terms. For example, type "Grey Or Gray And Parrot" to find sites on parrots with either spelling of the color term. Terms linked by the "Andnot" operator exclude those sites that match the search term following the "Andnot." For example, type "Random Andnot House" to find sites about randomness but not about the publisher Random House.
