Boolean operators connect your search terms to either narrow or broaden your search results. You should use them to focus a search, particularly when your topic contains multiple search terms. Commonly used Boolean operators are: AND, OR, and NOT.
Unlike Google, a database does not assume what and how you want to search. It only returns results based on how you have used the search commands ( AND, OR, NOT). Therefore, it is important to know the logical order in which you connect your search terms.
Can you use multiple connectors or a combination of AND and OR operators in a single search string?
