OR
NOT

'AND' - use this to combine two or more search terms, to find articles that contain all of the search terms in the same article.

'OR' - use this to find all of the articles related to two or more search terms. This search will include the articles that contain all of the terms, but it will also find articles that relate to each search term seperately.
