Boolean Search

Boolean logic

The condition where an argument can either be true or false, off or on, yes or no - is used to refine a search on the internet Database search that uses AND, OR, and NOT to include and eliminate findings

Plus + Gate

a Boolean operator that include both conditions of the search Example: cats +dogs

NOT gate

a Boolean operator with contains one operator but not the other condition Example: the search results contains both cats but NOT dogs A logic gate used to identify a true value when a condition is not met.

Logic circuit

a combination of standard logic gates used to perform complex logic operations, where the outputs of some gates act as the inputs to others Example: cats AND dogs NOT birds, the website contains cats, then goes on the check if it also has dogs A combination of logic gates.

Minus - Gate

a logic operator that produces the first operator but not the second Example: cats -dogs

OR gate

A logical operation which gives results that contain either one of the indicators Example: the search results contains both cats OR dogs A logic gate used to identify a true value when one or more conditions are met

Logic gate

A trigger that produces options as either true or false An electronic component used to perform Boolean algorithms.

Quotations Mark Gate

a search for an exact phrase or group of words Example: "cats playing with dogs"

Parenthesis ( ) Gate

an operator where the words in the parenthesis are searched for first Example: (cats) AND dogs

AND gate

A Boolean operator which produces all options are true and exist for both arguments Example: the search results contains both cats AND dogs A logic gate used to identify a true value when two or more conditions are met.

Logical operator

Operator such as AND, OR, NOT, etc., which performs a Boolean operation on some inputs In a query, an operator that allows you to combine two or more conditions
