Boolean Logic

Boolean logic (the use of AND, OR, NOT, quotations, parenthesis, and truncation) will help you to control your search.

Example 1

"domestic terrorism"

Enclosing your search for these words in quotation marks forces the search engine to treat the idea as a phrase.

Example 2

           "terrorist motives" OR "religious terrorism"

Using the Boolean operator OR between these search terms will retrieve at least one of the search terms, "terrorist motives" or "religious terrorism".  Using OR broadens your search.


Example 3

"weapons of mass destruction" AND "combatting terrorism"

Both concepts will be searched since the Boolean operator AND connects those concepts.  Using AND narrows your search.

Note:  If you do not see your search term in the title of an article, check the article's abstract.
