Imp Fact
- Boolean operators help search engines to limit, narrow, or broaden search results. “AND”, “OR” and “NOT” words are the Boolean operators. When these are typed between your keywords they make search more precise and save time. For example if you are interested to read an article regarding media coverage about environment, so you can search media AND environment. Here AND is a Boolean operator.
- SOLR-indexed based faceted search allows end users to clearly define the dimensions that they want their search results to match. It allows users to use filters to make search results manageable.
