When you type a keyword into a search box in SharePoint, it searches the following: Scenario 3: When you search for Red NOT White, it won’t find a document, because the document contains the word “White”īefore I explain how Boolean Operators work in the context of SharePoint, it is important to understand how SharePoint search works.Scenario 2: When you search for Red OR White, it will again find the document, because any of the words are present in the document.Scenario 1: When you search for Red AND White, it will find the document, because both words are present in a document.Say the document contains keywords Red and White.
NOT: searches content that contains Keyword 1 but does not contain Keyword 2 ( just Keyword 1 should be present).OR: searches content for either Keyword 1 or Keyword 2 ( any must be present).AND: searches content for the presence of both Keyword 1 and Keyword 2 ( both must be present).Reference this post from MIT for a helpful explanation. The most basic Boolean operators are AND, OR, NOT. In simple words, Boolean Operators are words that connect other words (keywords). So with this post, I would like to introduce you to Boolean Operators in SharePoint search and explain how they can improve your SharePoint Search experience. And given the exponentially growing amount of content, it becomes super important to find exactly what you are looking for. As you migrate all the content from file shares and other cloud platforms, SharePoint becomes THE go-to place for all the documents, knowledge base Wikis, and other content. Today I want to introduce you to a trick that I hope will make your SharePoint search results more relevant.
