Not sure how my comments were taken to be flippant but here is how google supports Boolean....they also support many other commands but since you are already using “advanced search” you probably already know that.

Boolean search is nothing more than AND OR and NOT commands. Google supports all three as does every search engine I can think of.

Here is an example...cut and paste this into a google search box....

FAR “subcontract administrator” (intitle:resume OR inurl:resume) -job -jobs -send -submit -you

This search utilizes the AND command the OR command and the NOT command. AND is signified by the space between FAR and subcontract administrator” the OR is signified by the OR between (intitle:resume and inurl:resume) and the NOT is signified by the minus sign after the search string telling you not to show you pages that contain the words job/jobs/send/submit and you.

So if the search worked right you should have returned the resumes of several subcontract administrators with FAR experience whose intilte and inurl pages does not contain the words job/jobs/submit/send and you.

Thanks. I simply never tried to do Boolean there because it didn’t invite me to as the old engines did (with “help” for rules, etc). I assumed you couldn’t do it - further by the fact they have an “Advanced” page. Which is really only half-baked.
