When searching news articles and configuring news alerts, the following operators are supported: AND, OR, NOT, Wildcard, Exact Match, and Precedence.
+ signifies AND. This remains the default.
e.g., searching for A320 + A320neo will return articles that include both keywords. The same result would appear for A320 A320neo.
| signifies OR. This will return articles that include any of the keywords.
e.g., searching for A320 | A320neo will return articles that contain either A320 or A320neo.
“” quotation marks can be used to specify terms that must appear next to each other.
e.g., searching for “737 battery” would return articles that include the phrase "737 battery"
- signifies NOT. Results will exclude the keyword.
e.g., searching for A320 -A320neo will return articles that contain A320 only if they don’t also include A320neo.
* signifies the Wildcard. This is used at the end of a keyword.
e.g., searching for A320* will return all articles with any word that starts with A320: i.e., A320, A320s, A320neo, A320neos, A320ceo, A320ceos, etc.
() signifies Precedence. This should be used when nesting operators so that the grouping is clear.
e.g., searching for (A320 | A320neo) + (order | ordered) would return articles that include at least one term from each of the groups.
Basic examples:
• 737*. Useful when you are interested in all variants of an aircraft, or to include those articles where the aircraft is only referenced in the plural form (737s).
• Grounded | parked | stored |storage. The OR operator is useful when there are multiple words that can have the same meaning.
Advanced examples:
• (order* | deliver*) + A320neo* -Africa. This will return all articles that are related to grounding of A320neos, but will exclude articles that mention Africa.
• (park* | ground* | stored | storage) + (covid* | coronavirus | pandemic) + Airbus. This will return all articles that discuss the grounding of Airbus aircraft in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
