Why remove a Boolean search operator seems to be the popular question. Personally, unless the existing "+" is retained as a valid functional operator, even if not listed, then I can neither see the benefit nor the sense in it unless logic AND (must...
The account management tool lets you add, change or delete keywords, or build queries using full Boolean logic. RSS feeds, search alerts and other information monitoring technologies are great, but often end up providing too much of a good thing.
The book shows you how these search tools work, often providing useful information that's not always obvious, such as whether a search tool is automatically using Boolean logic, or how to turn on or off optional features.
Categorization tools with multiple level taxonomies, can use explicit queries, fuzzy logic (good for ignoring OCR errors) and overriding Boolean control: the same functionality is implemented for alerting and filtering.
Search Engine Math http://www.searchenginewatch.com/facts/math.html Most search engines implement a simple form of Boolean logic that's relatively easy to master. The problem is that Boolean operators, because of their apparent simplicity, appear...
The Hidden Power of AND SearchDay #2, May 8, 2001 http://searchenginewatch.com/searchday/01/sd0508-and.html The deceptively simple Boolean AND operator is actually a remarkable power tool for searchers, especially when you're mining for...
Boolean logic is covered, as are most of the "advanced" options available to the intrepid searchers who want to exercise maximum control over their results. If I were putting together a desert island collection of books on searching, Randolph Hock...
Boolean logic is a power tool. This is why search engines don't rely on Boolean logic alone to calculate relevance. In the hands of a skilled searcher, Boolean queries can often yield marvelous results.
However, advanced searchers may still prefer to control AltaVista themselves by using power commands such as the + symbol or Boolean operators. AltaVista says that if such commands are used, they'll take precedence over the internal logic it tries...

This logic means that if you do a search for two words, with a capital OR in the middle, you may get something similar to a Boolean OR working for you. Google now also supports the Boolean OR command -- sort of.

All you Boolean junkies will be happy to know that Excite now supports a NOT query by just specifying NOT, rather than AND NOT. However, you still must put Boolean queries in uppercase. After all, the logic went, who would pay for LookSmart's...
Forget all that stuff about Boolean searching. Boolean Searching http://searchenginewatch.com/facts/boolean.html Here's a rundown on the services that support Boolean, and the slight differences between them.
