Hello Sandhya, title: star AND wars NOT sdi This query will match every document where "star" *and* "wars" occur but *not* the term "sdi" (SDI => Strategic Defense Initiative => in the media there was often the term star wars used to describe the project).
title: star OR wars This query will match every document where "star" *or* "wars" occur. If your standard operator (defined in your schema.xml) is the OR, you don't need to add the "OR" operator to your query. Standard-operator: OR title: star wars This is the same as title: star OR wars standard-operator: AND title: star wars - > the same as title: star AND wars standard-operator: AND title: star wars NOT sdi is the same as: title: star AND wars NOT sdi Hope this helps.
