Connectors
Space
A space between terms is automatically interpreted as an ‘and’ connector.
And &
Retrieves both search terms. Example: whistleblower and anti-retaliation
Or |
Retrieves either or both search terms. Example: child or dependent finds documents containing ‘child’ or ‘dependent’ or
both. Example: false | misleading
Not -
Used to retrieve documents that contain the first term only if the second term does not appear. Example: RICO not
Puerto finds RICO documents that do not include ‘Puerto Rico.’ Example: deed not revocation
w/#
Specifies the proximity of search terms. Example: spoofing w/5 futures finds ‘spoofing’ within 5 words of ‘futures’
regardless of which word occurs first.
p/#
Specifies the proximity and the order of search terms. Example: spoofing p/5 futures finds ‘spoofing’ where it precedes
‘futures’ by up to 5 words.
Universal Characters
Finds the exact phrase. Example: “intervening rights”
“…”
TIP: Use quotes to search for a phrase that includes And, Or, Not.
Example: “search and seizure” finds documents including the phrase but does not use ‘and’ as a connector.
*
Used in place of multiple characters. Example: a*ment finds assignment, amendment, advertisement, argument, etc.
?
Substitutes for a single character. Example: advis?r finds advisor, advisors, advisor’s, adviser, advisers, and adviser’s.
