(2) OR. It is Use when search result is TOO LITTLE or when we want to find additional articles or books, or to connect the synonyms of the KEYWORDS.
(3) NOT. It is also to narrow down our search. It will excludes CERTAIN ASPECTS from the search result, that is when particular KEYWORD is not required.
