Use " + " before a term if you want it to always appear in the retrieved documents, and " - " before a term if you do not want it to ever appear in the retrieved documents.
AND, OR and AND NOT operators can be used, and must always be in CAPITALS to be recognized as operators.
Parentheses may be used for grouping terms.
Use capitals for proper names, or put in quotes if used with boolean ANDs and ORs.
Use the ^ symbol with a value at the end of a word to increase it's relevance, for example, dog care grooming^3 to increase the relevance of the term "grooming."
