2. The dangers of Google Too many hits In entering a search into Google there are generally just too many hits. One sample of Google gave the following: God - 385,000,000 hits Jesus - 156,000,000 hits Buddha - 26,500,000 hits Mohammed - 27,000,000 hits So Boolean operators are needed to reduce the number of search terms

3. Boolean operations I And Sends back results with both terms so: Church and Catholic will return results with both Church and Catholic but not URLs which have just one of these terms

4. Boolean operations II Or Sends back results with one or other term so: Church or Catholic will return results with either Church or Catholic

5. Boolean operations III Not Sends back results with one term and not another so: Church NOT Catholic will return results with Church but exclude the subset of Church results which include Catholic

6. Boolean operations IV “search term” Sends back results with only the phrase in the inverted commas: “The Catholic Church” will return results with only this complete phrase in it.
