Christian Funding Directory Tutorial will find all entries that contain both the words „homeless‟ and „children‟ in the Funding Interests field. OR Operator (a OR b) Use the OR operator to find entries that have either „a‟ or „b‟. For example, to find all funding sources in San Francisco or Los Angeles, type „San Francisco OR Los Angeles‟ in the City field. Note: Notice that though in English we may say, “Look for sources in San Francisco and Los Angeles”, we have to use OR to find entries from both the cities. This is because when we use the OR operator, it means find entries where the field contains „a‟ or the field contains „b‟. On the other hand, when we use the AND operator, it means find entries where the field contains both „a‟ as well as „b‟. For every entry, the City field can contain only one value. So, if we look for „San Francisco AND Los Angeles‟, it means look for entries where the City field contains „San Francisco‟ as well as „Los Angeles‟. However, for each entry, the City field can contain only one value. Therefore, we have to look for „San Francisco OR Los Angeles‟. NOT Operator (NOT a) Use the NOT operator to exclude certain entries. For example, if you want to find sources that provide funding for homeless people but not for people from the Engineering field, you would type „homeless NOT engineering‟ in the Funding Interests field. Note: While using NOT, the search results may vary depending on which term you use first and which term, later. For example, when you type „homeless NOT engineering‟ in the Funding Interests field, the system will first select all entries where the word „homeless‟ appears in the Funding Interest field. From this selection, the system will then discard those entries that also have the word „engineering‟ in the Funding Interests field, and display the rest on the screen. On the other hand, when you type „engineering NOT homeless‟ in the Funding Interests field, the system will first select all entries where the word „engineering‟ appears in the Funding Interest field. From this selection, the system will then discard those entries that also have the © Here-4-You Consulting 10
Christian Funding Directory Tutorial word „homeless‟ in the Funding Interests field, and display the rest on the screen. The following illustration will help you understand this concept more clearly: „a‟ NOT „b‟ All Entries „a‟, „b‟, „c‟ „a‟, „c‟, „b‟ „a‟, „b‟ „a‟, „c‟ „b‟, „a‟ „b‟, „c‟ „b‟ „a‟ „c‟, „b‟ „c‟, „a‟, „b‟ First, all entries that contain „a‟ are selected. Entries containing „a‟ „a‟, „b‟, „c‟ „a‟, „c‟, „b‟ „a‟, „b‟ „a‟, „c‟ „b‟, „a‟ „a‟ „c‟, „a‟, „b‟ Entries that contain „b‟ are then dropped. Entries containing „a‟ but not „b‟ „a‟, „c‟ „a‟ „b‟ NOT „a‟ All Entries „a‟, „b‟, „c‟ „a‟, „c‟, „b‟ „a‟, „b‟ „a‟, „c‟ „b‟, „a‟ „b‟, „c‟ „b‟ „a‟ „c‟, „b‟ „c‟, „a‟, „b‟ First, all entries that contain „b‟ are selected. Entries containing „b‟ „a‟, „b‟, „c‟ „a‟, „c‟, „b‟ „a‟, „b‟ „b‟, „a‟ „b‟, „c‟ „b‟ „c‟, „b‟ „c‟, „a‟, „b‟ Entries that contain „a‟ are then dropped. Entries containing „b‟ but not „a‟ „b‟, „c‟ „b‟ „c‟, „b‟ Points to remember while using Boolean Operators Searches with AND & NOT restrict the scope of your search, whereas searches with OR expand the scope of your search. The words AND, OR & NOT must be typed in all capital letters. © Here-4-You Consulting 11
