The Boolean search criteria lets you apply logic to your search. Popular Boolean
operators are AND, OR, and NEAR. Modifiers can be used with an operator to
further define your search. Frequently used modifiers are NOT, PARAGRAPH, and
SENTENCE.
You can use our Boolean operators on certain fields
- + for an AND search
- – for
a NOT search
- ; (separator operator) for
an OR search
Note that “;” is our separator operator.
So:
- loan;bond means loan OR bond
- loan;+bond means loan AND bond
- loan;-bond means loan NOT bond
You can use
* as a wildcard. For instance, Toy* will find Toyo Trust and Toyota.
But be careful, wildcards slow down your search. Your browser may time out
(showing
no results) before the database is ready to send you its results.
