Boolean search

Tech Speak The Spokesman-Review
 

A search that involves the use of Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT, which refine the scope of the search by including or excluding documents. AND and NOT narrow the search, while the OR operator widens it. Named after 19th-century logician George Boole.
