Booleans are simple terms that can be added to your search words to make the results more flexible or specific. Using boolean terms in your search will also greatly increase the accuracy of your queries, providing you with the best job matches. Familiarizing yourself with the logic of these boolean searches will help you get better results. i. Boolean Term: AND The boolean expression AND narrows your search. This is the default when you search for more than one word. A search for technical writer is the same as a search for technical AND writer. When you search for technical writer or technical AND writer you are saying find the word technical in the same document as the word writer. The search engine discards all results except those that have both terms. If just one word appears, it will not be displayed. Boolean Term: OR Booleans are a bit easier to understand when you know about both OR and AND. The boolean expression OR broadens your search. A search for manager OR supervisor requires that a document have either of these terms. This is useful where two different words have similar meanings and are used interchangeably. If just one word appears in a document, it will be displayed.

boolean searches and would like to ensure the results of multiple boolean terms are correct.

Searching for (project AND manager) OR supervisor will bring results with project manager or the term supervisor alone.

A search for analytical chemist (without quotes) will return any document containing analytical and chemist with anything in between. If you place quotes around the phrase, searching for "analytical chemist", Medzilla will only return documents with the terms right next to each other. Boolean Term: * (the asterisk wildcard) As the name implies, * can be substituted for any amount of letters. This is particularly useful to include all words with a certain term and any suffix after it. Simply apply the asterisk to the end of a term and it will return all documents containing that term, followed by anything. For example: biostatistic* will find biostatistician or biostatistics or biostatistical
