March 23, 2007, Newsletter Issue #57: Using Booleans on AOL Search

Tip of the Week

AOL Search supports the use of Boolean search operators. OR finds documents containing either of the words or expressions it separates. Example: pie OR cobbler. A minus sign ( - ) excludes the word following, i.e., board games -checkers will find all board games except checkers. Double quotes (") around a phrase will find that exact phrase, as in "winter of our discontent".
