Searching databases effectively depends on the proper use of various operators that help users retrieve precise, relevant, and comprehensive information. These operators are integral to information systems because they control how search terms are interpreted and combined, thereby improving accuracy and efficiency in data retrieval. Boolean operators are the most fundamental operators used in database searching. The operator AND is used to combine two or more terms and retrieves records that contain all the specified terms.
