Boolean Operators
Boolean operators are words or symbols used in search queries to combine or exclude search terms.

There are three main Boolean operators: "AND", "OR", and "NOT".
Boolean Operators Example Results
AND "cats AND dogs" Results will only include pages that mention both "cats" and "dogs"
OR "cats OR dogs" Results will include pages that mention either "cats" or "dogs", or both
NOT "cats NOT dogs" Results will include pages that mention "cats", but not "dogs"

Boolean operators can be used to refine search results and find more specific information. For example, if you're searching for information about a particular topic, you could combine multiple search terms using "AND" to find pages that mention all of them. Alternatively, if you're getting too many results, you could use "NOT" to exclude irrelevant terms.
