Boolean 101. Here’s your quick guide to understanding the basics of Boolean.
AND SEARCHES
AND searches require that all of the terms you have listed are found in your results. AND narrows or decreases results.
AND The result would be everything in the green area: the solutions that contain both blue and yellow.
For example: design and html — The results would be everyone who had “design” as well as “html” listed somewhere in
their resume.
OR SEARCHES
OR searches require that your results contain any one of the terms being searched. The OR operator can be used to
NOT SEARCHES
NOT (or AND NOT) Searches — NOT (or AND NOT) searches mean that a term or terms can be excluded from your results.
NOT In this case, the result would be everything in the blue area only — nothing that contains any yellow!
For example: pharmaceutical and not sales
The results would be everyone who had “pharmaceutical” in their resume, but would automatically exclude everyone
who had “sales.”
