Boolean search

[TDO]

I only recently started appritiating this option, I though to share it with those less knowing.

You are searching for, let's say you are searching for an ebook, now - we know that ebooks can be in .txt .doc .rtf .pdb .pdf .htm .lit formats - right?

Let's say you are only interested in .lit .pdf - what do you do?

Well, you can only write one thing in the "extension" field, so here comes the Boolean Search for the rescue, in the search field, you type:

Book Name AND (lit OR pdf).

Naturally, it also might find somehting like this:

Book_Name(lit).rar

Since lit is indeed in the file name... Maybe you could lower the searches a bit more with (.lit OR .pdf) - hmmmmm... Interesting idea...

Anyway, hope this helps.

NOT operator:

(Book Name) AND (lit OR pdf) NOT (rar)

Many times theres a lit file inside a .rar hehe.

Yeah, I do this a lot, it's very helpful especially when you are using very common words.

So just to recap - And, OR and NOT all work then?
