Boolean searching
The following Boolean operators can be used to combine terms. Note
that they must be CAPITALIZED.
AND - to limit searches to find items containing all words or
phrases combined with this operator.

contain BOTH the words: "BNDES" and "setorial"
OR to enlarge searches to find items that containing any of
the words or phrases surrounding this operator.

search will retrieve all items that contain EITHER the words ("Pulp",
"Paper").
NOT to exclude items containing the word
following this operator.
The search will retrieve all items that contain the word "pulp",
EXCEPT those that also containing the word "paper".
If no Boolean operator is entered in the search field, the system
automatically considers "AND".
Parentheses
Parentheses can be used in the
search query to group terms into sets and apply operators to these sets.
Example:
The
advanced search page allows you to specify the fields you wish to search and to
combine these searches using the operators "Equals", "Contains", "Not Equals" and
" Not Contains"
