Boolean Search Operators Guide

Boolean operator	Function	Example
AND	Narrows your search to results that include all of the terms	experimental AND video
OR	Broadens your search to results that include any of the terms	experimental OR video
NOT	Removes results containing a particular term	experimental NOT video
Quotes " "	Returns results that include the exact phrase	"experimental video"
Asterisk *	Returns results that include different endings of that word	exper* This will return results such as "experiment," "experience," and "expert."

Notes:

You can combine several operators and phrases to refine your search.
Example: queer AND "experimental film" OR "video art"
Searches are not case-sensitive (e.g., Queer and queer are treated the same).
Very common words (such as "the", "and", "of") may be ignored in searches.
