- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter

Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'

NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).

" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"

On an April morning in 1789 near the island of Tonga, William Bligh and eighteen surly seamen were expelled from the Bounty and began the greatest open-boat voyage in history, sailing some 4,000 miles to safety in Timor. The mutineers, led by Fletcher Christian, sailed off in the Bounty and were never heard of again. Contains: the full text of Bligh's Narrative of the Mutiny, the minutes of the court proceedings gathered by Edward Christian in an effort to clear his brother's name, and the correspondence between Bligh and Christian, and a selection of later Bounty narratives.
