Search Techniques

Boolean Operators are three words (AND, OR, NOT) that you can use to combine search terms in a way that will either broaden or narrow a search.

 

Use AND to narrow a search by connecting two keywords.

Use OR to broaden a search by connecting two similar words.

Use NOT to narrow a search by excluding a keyword.

 

Example:

medicaid      AND    Texas

Medicaid   OR   Title XIX

Medicaid      NOT     Medicare

 

"Quotations Marks" can be used to search for exact phrases.

"Medicaid history"

"Medicaid Services"
