ITT we discuss how we use boolean operators to find interesting stuff on the web
4chan ∧ ¬($300k starting) => failure
pretty interesting fact I must say, even moreso considering you can find it with a few simple taps of your finger over the web

>"What is a Boolean Operator?"
Boolean Operators are simple words (AND, OR, NOT or AND NOT) used as
conjunctions to combine or exclude keywords in a search, resulting in more focused and
productive results. This should save time and effort by eliminating inappropriate hits that
must be scanned before discarding.
Using these operators can greatly reduce or expand the amount of records returned.
Boolean operators are useful in saving time by focusing searches for more 'on-target'
results that are more appropriate to your needs, eliminating unsuitable or inappropriate.
Each search engine or database collection uses Boolean operators in a slightly different
way or may require the operator be typed in capitals or have special punctuation. The
specific phrasing will be found in either the guide to the specific database found in
Research Resources or the search engine's help screens.
Proximity Operators (with, near and others) can also help you in searching. See Using
Proximity Operators for more details and examples.

NOT operator fails.

A useful post!
>>57933241
Yeah, I never search with certain terms excluded because I always feel like when I'm looking for x and every result is about y the one article about x is going to contain something like "Now y has been covered extensively, so today I want to talk about x" or even just "x is a lot different to y"
AND NOT don't werk.
