Notes from Session:

What does an operator AND do?

Ans; It basically get’s us the list of search results with all the keywords and helps us in narrowing the search.

For Example: Java AND SQL ; In this example we will see the list of search results which has both the keywords Java and SQL

What does the operator OR do?

And: It basically helps us in expanding the search results with an option of getting a list of search results with options

For example: (Java OR Python) ; in this search we will see the list of results which have either Java or Python.

Thumb rule 2: Whenever we use OR we will have to use ( ) so the search engines understands it as a proper set or nest

What does an operator ( ) do? It basically helps us in nesting or bucketing or creating a set for the optional keywords so that search engines can show us the list of results with either one of the other keywords.

For example: (Java OR Python OR “C++” OR Golang OR Ruby OR “GO”)

What does an operator “ “ do? So there are two use cases of “ “

Use case 1: Whenever we are searching for the exact phrase we should be using “ “

For Example: (“Software Engineer” OR “Software Developer” OR “Software Programmer”)

Use case 2: Basically “ “ also helps us in giving a strong command even for a single keyword as a must to have keyword

Use case 3: Basically “ “ also helps us while we give a keywords which has special characters

For example: “C++” OR “C#”
