Search Strategy

You already think in concepts, synonyms, and limits. AND, OR, NOT — the logic behind every good search is the same logic behind a well-shaped prompt. Build a search and watch it sharpen.

A patron's request, your search to build

“My kid needs books for a school project about ocean pollution.” Flip the terms on and off below. OR within a concept widens your net; AND between concepts narrows it; NOT and limits cut the noise.

Build your search
Concept A — the topic · terms join with OR
AND
Concept B — the angle · terms join with OR
NOT — cut the noise
Limits — narrow the field

No operators to memorize — you just say the same structure in plain words. Concepts, synonyms, exclusions, and limits are exactly what a strong prompt carries.
