Using Search Operators

Search operators can be added to your search queries to further narrow your results.

For example, searching for overview OR summary will return all results that contain either "overview" or "summary," whereas searching overview AND summary will only return results that contain both keywords: "overview" as well as "summary":

To include search operators in your Library search:

  1. Click into the Library's top search field

  2. Enter your search terms, separated by the desired search operators (AND, OR, or NOT). Loopio will automatically run your search as you enter text

Including Similar Words in a Search

Discover even more relevant content by including similar words in a search (for example, searching for United States would also return search results including the terms USA and America).
