Boolean Searching

When searching with one or more keywords, we highly recommend using a Boolean search method. Boolean search allows you to combine keywords with operators (or modifiers) such as AND, NOT and OR to produce more relevant results.

• AND
  Search results must include the keyword from both sides.
  
  Example:
  Java AND HTML
• OR
  Search results must include the keyword from either side.
  
  Example:
  Bristol OR Bath
• NOT
  Search results must not include the keyword that follows it.
  
  Example:
  Manager NOT Sales
• Phrases
  Search for combined words or phrases by enclosing the words within quotation marks.
  
  Example:
  "Project Management"
• Wildcards
  Find partial word matches by using wildcards.
  
  Example:
  Manag* (matches manager, management, managing etc.)

A variety of different Boolean terms can be included within the same search string; however you may need to include brackets to change the order of precedence:
