This article explains how to perform a Boolean search in Google. Boolean searches specify what you want to find and whether you want to make it more specific (with AND) or less specific (with OR).

Use the AND operator in Google to search for all the search terms you specify. Using AND ensures that the topic you are researching is the topic you get in the search results.

For example, if you search for Amazon on Google, you will likely get results related to Amazon.com, such as the site's homepage, social media account, information about Amazon Prime, and the items you can purchase on Amazon.com.

If you want information about the Amazon rainforest, a search for Amazon rainforest might return results about Amazon.com or the word Amazon in general. To ensure that each search result includes both Amazon and rainforest, use the AND operator.
