Searching- OR Operator

Heat OR Thermodynamics
The OR operator expands the search by retrieving those documents in which either of or both of the keyword appear. This operator is usually used for:
•Synonymous or equivalent terms•Spelling variations•Related terms

Searching- NOT Operator
Chemistry NOT Organic chemistry
The NOT operator limits the search by retrieving only first keyword but not second, even if the first word appears in that document too.
The NOT operator should be used with care, as it is easy to eliminate relevant documents as well as irrelevant.
