Advanced Search… Boolean Style
Launch your medical device job search into hyper-drive by using boolean operators in your search. Let’s learn by “doing” and dive right into some examples:
- apple banana
Find rows that contain at least one of the two words.
- +apple +juice
Find rows that contain both words.
- +apple macintosh
Find rows that contain the word “apple”, but rank rows higher if they also contain “macintosh”.
- +apple -macintosh
Find rows that contain the word “apple” but not “macintosh”.
- +apple ~macintosh
Find rows that contain the word “apple”, but if the row also contains the word “macintosh”, rate it lower than if the row does not. This is softer than a search for +apple -macintosh, for which the presence of “-macintosh” causes the row not to be returned at all.
- +apple +(>turnover <strudel)
Find rows that contain the words “apple” and “turnover”, or “apple” and “strudel” (in any order), but rank “apple turnover” higher than “apple strudel”.
- apple*
Find rows that contain words such as “apple”, “apples”, “applesauce”, or “applet”.
- "some words"
Find rows that contain the exact phrase “some words” (for example, rows that contain “some words of wisdom” but not “some noise words”).
