George Boole was a
shoemaker and amateur mathematician in England, way back in the
mid-1800s. His system of symbols and operations, called Boolean Algebra,
turns out to be ideal for representing many digital computer concepts,
including Internet searches. The most popular Boolean operation is
probably the
|
one called AND. If you search for two words by typing AND
between the two words (with spaces) on the search line, your list of
found pages will include only those that contain both words, not just
one or the other. Use AND to make your search more specific, with fewer but more useful results.
