Advanced Boolean Part I will cover the NEAR and PHRASE operators, while Advanced Boolean Part II explains the use of “quotations” and (parenthesis) in Boolean searches. 

NEAR(): finds keywords in close proximity to each other within a given sentence

PHRASE(): finds keywords in close proximity to each other within a given sentence in a set order 

“Quotation”: limits results to the exact word or phrase specified

(Parenthesis): isolates and determines order of keyword terms within a longer search string
