Question

In two to three sentences, describe one advanced search strategy and how it is useful.

Answer 1

A Boolean Search is one type of advanced search strategy. This type of search allows you to use AND, OR, and NOT in your search. This is useful because you can add details to widen the results, or you can narrow the results so you don’t have to read through so many results.

Answer 2

boolean searching:

Most searches will return too many or too few records. It takes a long time to look at hundreds of records. By putting a little effort into constructing search strings (what you type into the search box) you can save a lot of time. The database can do a lot of work for you if you take the trouble to add a little sophistication to your search strings.

To do this with databases you need to know about the Boolean system. By the use of a few simple linking words, called operators, you can make your searches much more precise.
