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

AND

eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOTE: AND will only work with single words not phrases.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 single words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.

" " (double quotation marks)

NOTE: "" cannot be combined with AND, OR & NOT searches.
* (asterisk)

eg. 'Pot*er'
Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.
