a. Simple term search:
this can take the form of a single word or quoted string.
Example: IBM or "IBM" or "International Business Machines"
A simple term search will turn up documents where the single word or the words within the quotes are found.
b. Proximity Search: Indicates that the word or phrase on the left side of the NEAR operator should be within the same sentence as the word or phrase on the right side of the NEAR operator. (Note: operator can be either NEAR or near.)
Example: "change" near "accounting principles"
Multiple proximity terms can also be combined:
Example: a NEAR b NEAR c
This means that word or phrase "a" should be near word or phrase "b", which should be near word or phrase "c."
c. Combination Searching: Terms in a query can be combined using Boolean logic AND OR or AND NOT.
Examples:
A AND B Would require terms A and B to exist
e.g. Microsoft and Linux
A OR B Would require either term A or B to exist
e.g. Microsoft or Linux
A AND NOT B Would require term A to exist and term B to not exist in the search.
e.g. Microsoft and not Lin
