Quiz on minus, quotes, AND, OR, site:

by Adrian Buchanan
1

Which query excludes a term using the minus operator?

2

How would you search for the exact phrase 'machine learning' in quotes?

3

To find pages about cats and dogs, which operator combination is correct?

4

Which query returns pages about cats or dogs, but not necessarily both?

5

How do you restrict results to only pages from example.com?

6

Which query excludes a term and also includes another term, e.g., baking but not gluten?

7

If you search for 'Java' but want results about coffee, which is wrong?

8

Which search would you use to find pages about solar energy from government sites only?

9

Choose the query that finds pages about Python or Java but not Perl?

10

Which operator pair would emphasize results containing both 'climate' and 'change' in order?

Feedback

The minus sign before a term excludes that term from results; placement matters.

Using quotes ensures the exact phrase is found as a sequence of words.

AND requires both terms to appear; OR would allow either.

OR broadens results to include either term; AND would require both.

Site: limits results to a specific domain.

Minus excludes the term; it can be combined with other terms.

Java AND coffee beans is not specific and may miss common results; use exact terms.

Combines site: domain restriction with term(s) of interest.

OR for either language; subtract Perl to exclude results containing that term.

AND requires both terms; quotes would search the exact phrase.
