All search terms entered are automatically combined with „AND“, that means that hits will include all your search terms. You don't need to insert „AND“ between search terms, just separate search terms by a space.

Example: Processing plant Germany

The system will display all data records con-
taining both the term „Processing plant“ and the term „Germany“.



If you want to search individual search terms using the operator „OR“, you need to insert the word „OR“ between these terms.

Example: Processing plant OR Germany

The system will display all data records con-
taining either the term „Processing plant“ or the term „Germany“ or both.

You can also perform a search combining the operator „OR“ with „AND“. In such a case you need to put the terms to be combined using „OR“ in parenthesis.

Example: Processing plant (Russia OR Germany)

The system will display all data records con-
taining the term „Processing plant“ and either the term „Russia“ or the term „Germany“ or both.



In order to limit the number of hits you can also eliminate terms by putting „NOT“ in front of the term to be eliminated. The system will only display hits that do not contain this term.

Example: Processing plant NOT Germany

The system will display all data records con-
taining the term „Processing plant“ but not the term „Germany“.

It is, of course, also possible to use the ope-
rator „NOT“ in combined search operations together with „AND“- and „OR“-searches.

Example: Processing plant (Russia OR Germany) NOT Mineral grinding plant

The system will display all data records con-
taining the term „Processing plant“ and either the term „Russia“ or the term „Germany“ or both, but the term „Mineral grinding plant“ must not occur in the data records found.
