- (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 not contain 'Potter'.
AND

eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR

eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT

" " (double quotation marks)

eg. "Harry Potter"
