Just type one or more
words to find any of the

in double quotes. Or you can
just type the words and
select [ Find EXACT phrase
]. Punctuation must be the
same to be found between
words, for example "Smith,
John"
- Boolean Operators:
+ -
-
Use + in front of each
word or a quoted phrase that
you require.
Use - in front of each word
that you want to exclude.
- Boolean Expressions:
AND OR NOT ( )
-
Use AND, OR, NOT, (, and
) to form a Boolean
expression. AND requires, OR
allows, NOT excludes.
Use double quotes to protect
the words "and", "or", or
"not" in a phrase.
