@Paul-Martinez said in Boolean operators in FIND?:
show my age by pointing out it also reminds me of George Burns and Gracie Allen
Surely all the young ones reading this are completely lost, but yes, I believe Peter’s example was indeed a reference to the classic duo. :-)
In some of my examples here I refer to Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice, which I’m sure likewise makes the youngsters wonder just who are these people?!?
Sometimes it gets more complicated
It’s really tough to guess at what you want here, although I’m sure some will try that. Again I’d say a really concrete example from you would help speed things along.
I might want to Find lines containing CellTypes AND CellStructures, for example, and then Find lines with COVID-19 AND Pathways. (And OR them as this example implies)
But is it really an OR that is needed? Or (pun!) is it really just “combining” results from multiple searches?
Or is it a cascaded search, meaning from the results of the first AND group, search only those lines for the second AND group?
It’s a common problem with postings here, you have to express your need fairly exactly in order to get the best help (i.e., not have someone go off and invest time to solve problem X, only to have someone say “No, no, you fool, I have problem Y, not problem X”).
