Logical operators are useful for combining multiple keywords in your research. Here are the logical operators that are available for combining keywords: - ****Search term + search term**** \+ means "and". Example: Finance + IT - ****Search term | Search term**** | means "or" Example: Finance | IT - ****Search term - search term**** \- filters out a single search term. Example: IT - Consulting - ****“Search term and search term**** ” encloses a group of words and transforms it into a search term. Example: “Growing vegetables” - ****(Search term | search term) + search term**** ( ) combines multiple search terms. Example: (IT | Data) - Consulting  Here are some useful ways for you to combine different logical operators to filter your research even more accurately: 1. (“Cultural and entertainment venue” | Catering) “for businesses and individuals” 2. "Buying and Selling" + Books 3. (Information Technology | Data Management) – Consulting 4. "Trade in goods of all kinds" | Real estate brokerage 5. Ice cream products + machines | Entertainment In this [video](https://help.northdata.com/hubfs/Premium%20Services%20Videos/North%20Data%20Power%20Search_ENG.mp4?hsLang=en), we focus on the Power Search and how you can use the available filters to find those companies which match your criteria. -
