Re: How long has Goggle supported boolean operators ?

Actually, not quite (quotes below mean literal quotes typed):

a b = a OR b OR any combination of any words vaguely related to either a or b

"a" b = a and hopefully also something resembling b, but could just as well be just a.

"a" "b" = a AND b

"a b" = literal expression a b, in that exact order
