Boolean operators

The Boolean operators for the full text search functionality of the

 

online Help system are AND, OR, NOT, and NEAR. Used when

 

searching, they enable you to define your query precisely by

 

creating a relationship between search terms. If no operator is

 

specified in a multi-word search, AND is used by default. For

 

example, the query manual disaster recovery is equivalent to

 

manual AND disaster AND recovery.
