How do I use boolean operators?

Boolean Operators

Internet search tips: Most Internet search engines recognize the words "and," "not" and "or" Boolean operators: words that can be used to specify search terms. For example: typing "computer AND errors" finds web pages with both words in their content. "computer OR errors" finds web pages with either word, and "computer NOT errors" will find instances of "computer," but not if the page also includes the word "errors."
