Including & Excluding Words
By default, Viewpoint Search will return results that include all of your search terms. However, common words like "what" or "it" may sometimes be ignored. To force the inclusion of a term in your query, enter a plus sign before the word (e.g. +in style). To exclude a term from your query, enter a minus sign before the word (e.g. diamond -ring).

Either/Or Queries
You may search for two or more queries simultaneously without forcing both to appear in the results by entering OR in all caps between each query (e.g. high school calculus OR geometry).
