32. Searching- NOT OperatorB
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.
