How to format search criteria
You can enter a keyword or text. If you enter punctuation, that punctuation is considered part of the search.
You can use these operators to further define your search:
•AND: When you add “AND” between values, the system searches for news stores that contain all of the search values.
If you enter several values without an AND, then the AND is assumed. If the values meet the criteria of a keyword, then they are treated as such. “Financial Currency” is an example.
•OR: When you add “OR” between values, the system searches for news stores that contain any of the values.
Including OR in your search indicates that you want to search for everything before the OR and everything after the OR. For example, if you enter: Japanese or American car and production, then any story that includes “Japanese” is returned and any story that includes “American car and production” is returned.
•EXC: When you add “EXC” before a value, the system searches for stories that do not include the value following the EXC.
This is the only operator that can begin your search criteria. If you begin the search with AND or OR, they are ignored.
•- : Adding a hyphen in front of a value works the same way as EXC.
If you enter a hyphen followed directly by a value without a space in between, it is treated as EXC.
•“ ”: When you place single or double quotes around a value, the system searches for stories that include that exact phrase.
To add advanced search options
Click the More search options check box on the News Search Results window to expand the available search options:
The search criteria fields in this view help you further define your search without your having to enter operators, such as AND and OR. If you enter operators in these fields, the system searches for those words. It is likely that you will receive an error message asking you to remove common words, as they occur too frequently for the system to return meaningful results.
You also have the option of searching in a particular category and during a specific period of time: the last 24 hours, the last week, this month, last month, and all available. A maximum of 200 results are returned.
