Search Operators

You can use search operators to logically combine search terms.

The following table describes the search operators that you can use:

Search Operator	Description	Example
&&	Narrows a search by including both search terms. Equivalent to the AND logical operator.	sales data && data sales
\|\|	Broadens a search by including either one of the search terms. Equivalent to the OR logical operator.	sales data \|\| sales
!	Narrows a search by excluding a search term. Equivalent to the NOT logical operator.	sales data ! data sales
+	Requires that the search term after the plus sign ( + ) exists within the search results.	+sales data
-	Excludes the search term after the dash ( - ) from the search results.	sales -data
