DA Search Term examples

How do I do a "And\OR" search in DA? What if the term has multiple words, do I need to put in quotes?

    Have you looked at the Effective Searching whitepaper? It's absolutely excellent:  http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH88031

     

    And/Or searching is covered on pages 24 and 25.  For a phrase if you put the phrase in quotes it will return only results with that exact set of words in that order.
