Helpful Tips:
Operator | Definition | Example |
Quotes |
Placing quotation marks around a search term or phrase limits your search to that exact term or phrase. Without the quotes, your search engine may return all results that contain each separate word. |
"project manager" |
AND | Placing AND between your keywords will return results that only include both or all your keywords. This will limit your search results. | engineer AND "project manager" |
OR | Placing OR between your search keywords or terms will broaden your search results by returning all possible combinations of your search terms. | engineer OR "project manager" |
NOT | Placing NOT between your search keywords excludes the term after NOT from your search. Any result that has the search option you excluded will not show up in your results. | engineer NOT "project manager" |
Parenthesis | Parenthesis can be used to combine other Operators for a more complex search. The keyword(s) within the parenthesis will be given priority. The example given returns results that contain both software engineer and software architect. | software AND (engineer or architect) |
Asterisk | The asterisk can be used for a root word, stem, or truncation. The asterisk is a time-saver so you don't have to write out long, complicated search terms. | admin* = administration, administrator, administer, administered, etc. |
