Answer 2

AND
"AND" narrows your search. This is the default when you search for more than one word. A search for technical writer is the same as a search for technical AND writer. When you search for technical writer or technical AND writer you are saying find the word technical in the same document as the word writer. The search engine discards all results except those that have both terms. If just one word appears, it will not be displayed.

OR
"OR" broadens your search. A search for manager OR supervisor requires that a document have either of these terms. This is useful where two different words have similar meanings and are used interchangeably. If just one word appears in a document, it will be displayed.

NOT
"NOT" also works exactly as you would expect it to. The word following NOT must not appear in a document for the search engine to return it. If you were to search for research NOT sales, you would receive results that mention research without the word sales in them.
