A Boolean text string (BTS) consists of one or more words separated by Boolean operators -- AND, OR, and NOT represented by &, |, and ^, respectively, in search strings created by the user. (See item 1, page 16.)

Click on the [Hits] button to see the results of the last search. If no search has been requested, you will be prompted to enter a search. After executing a single term or a Boolean text search, you can move forward or backward through the hits list by clicking the [Next] or [Prev] buttons, respectively, under the [Hits] button. The [Hits] button will summarize the total hits.

A Boolean search uses selected words and symbols (e.g., AND, OR, and NOT) to specify exactly what should and should not be included in a search query. It was developed and named after George Boole (1815-1864), a British mathematician and logician. Thinkfinity's Advanced Search permits the use of Boolean search terms. Go to Thinkfinity Boolean Phrase Help for information on how you can use it to refine your searches.

No, you cannot input your own Boolean operators in Zetoc. The only operator is AND and this is implicit i.e. if you input more than one word in the same search field, the search engine will automatically AND them. You cannot use parentheses either. This is a feature of the search engine.

No, there is no provision for Boolean searching of AfricaBib databases by the individual. All entries are additive (using a Boolean AND between each expression), essentially meaning that all search fields must hit for a record to return.

Yes. For instructions, click on the "help" link next to the "Search" button near the top of the advanced search page.

Yes. In the simplest case, a search argument can be a single word or term. However, more than one word is allowed as long as they are separated by at least one space. In this case, the space is interpreted as 'AND' linking the various terms. The words 'AND', 'OR' and 'NOT' have special meaning as they correspond to Boolean operators rather than words to be searched. They can be written in upper case or lower case. You can formulate a query using the Boolean operators combined with brackets e.g.

No, you should not use Boolean commands such as: AND, OR, NOT, +, -, *, or "". When you type more than one search term, such as "air filters", your search will be automatically interpreted as being "air AND filter" and you will see results containing the two terms first. Then you will see results that contain one or the other term.

Yes. Please click on the "Advanced Search". The user interface for Boolean logic expression will appear to allow you to conduct advanced search without having to type a Boolean expression.

There is the basic find command which allows you to search one file at a time for string, however findstr is far more versatile. The command has the following switches FINDSTR [/B] [/E] [/L] [/R] [/S] [/I] [/X] [/V] [/N] [/M] [/O] [/F:file] [/C:string] [/G:file] [strings] [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]] When you execute a batch file (or any other DOS command without a pif setting) the _DEFAULT.PIF file in the %systemroot% directory is used.

If you want to do this when capturing, you can't. That's a feature that would be hard to implement in capture filters without changes to the capture filter code, which, on many platforms, is in the OS kernel and, on other platforms, is in the libpcap library. In releases prior to 0.9.14, you also can't search for, or filter, packets containing a particular string even after you've captured them. In 0.9.

The easiest way is to pick up the source for the 100% pure Java class EasyIn from http://www.afu.com/ (same place as this FAQ) Compile it with your code and use it like this: EasyIn easy = new EasyIn(); int i = easy.readInt(); // gets an int from System.in boolean b = easy.readBoolean(); // gets a boolean from System.in double d = easy.readDouble(); // gets a double from System.in ... etc.

Yes. JustCite supports the AND/OR/NOT Boolean operators. There is a default AND operator, so if you type 2 or more words in a text box on the search screens, JustCite will look for documents that contain all of those words in the appropriate field.

EasyReach Find DTS will look through your information and find all your emails, documents and Web pages containing your search word or phrase. If the result list is long, you can filter your search until you find the right information you need. In EasyReach Find DTS, any group of words not separated by a comma or quotes is considered a phrase. You can change this option by going into the Tools drop-down menu, selecting Preferences and unchecking the top box in the Find section.

The short answer to that question is - "not consistently". Some engines allow the use of just a few operators while others provide access to a wide range. Some require you to enter the operator yourself while others have you select the operator from a pop-up box. Some allow you to do any kind of search from the main search page while others require you to go to an "advanced" page to conduct boolean searches.

No. You cannot use "or" or "and" connectors or quotation marks. Just type in your search term, phrase or form number and click "go."

Yes - you can perform this sort of search on the ontologies using the ontology editing tool OBO-Edit, which is developed by the GO Consortium. Full instructions for searching using OBO-Edit are available in the OBO-Edit help menu.

Yes, Reach Market supports Boolean full-text search to find corresponding market categories and companies with matching description texts. By default, in the Instant Search, ALL the keywords provided must be found in the companies' description texts. In the Power Search, you can specify whether the search must match ALL, ANY or exactly your keywords. A leading plus sign indicates that this word must be present in each of the matching category or in the company web text (e.g., +publisher).

Grapeshot supports Boolean searching across all fields, as well as field specific queries, with AND, OR, NOT and other familiar Boolean operands. Grapeshot indexes can hold complete positional information of words inside a source document, thereby aiding proximity and phrase searching. Grapeshot provides a combination of advanced search techniques with a commitment to support traditional approaches to IR.

Use the Text Search Simpleton to search for messages that match a string. Enter the text and hit return or press "Search". At this time the searches are case sensitive, exact matches of the body of messages and any header information.

When no Boolean operators or quotation marks are used, the operator AND is automatically inserted between search terms. You may construct search strings using the operators AND, OR, and AND NOT. Additionally, the NEAR operator searches for terms or phrases that are within 50 words of each other. The operator FORMSOF retrieves various forms of the search word(s) entered (e.g., FORMSOF dry finds dryness, dried, drying, etc.). Use quotation marks on a word or phrase to look for an exact match.

The Boolean search information is displayed in the Search Again box at the top of the page. If you need to make any changes to the Boolean query, you can make the change at the top of the page and click Search to run the edited search.

Taking a collection (N) of logic gates (AND, OR, NOT etc.) each with K inputs and interconnecting them gives us a Boolean Network. Depending upon the number of inputs (K) to each gate we can generate a collection of possible logic functions that could be used. By allocating these to the nodes (N) at random we have a Random Boolean Network (RBN - also called a Kauffman Net or the Kauffman Model) and this can be used to investigate whether organization appears for different sets of parameters.

What should you do if you don't complete the final drill for the day? Thoughts are: 1. Delete it, 2. Complete it first thing next day, 3. Complete it the next day, but with other final drill items. (I usually do 3.) It would be best to go through the final drill every day. Second best would probably be to delete final drill (Learn : Cut drills). This comes from the fact that all repetitions made on dates different from the original schedule interfere with computations made by SuperMemo.

You can either search for a specific phrase on the Advanced Search page, or by enclosing your search terms in quotation marks. Entering search terms in the This Exact Phrase box on the Advanced Search page will return pages that contain ALL of these words in the specific order that you type them. You can also search for a specific phrase from Zuula's main page. Enclose your search terms in quotation marks to search for Web pages with the exact wording that is contained within the quotes.
