• Key Concepts: 
  Boolean search is a type of search query used in SAP software to find specific information. It uses Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT to combine keywords and phrases to create a search query. Boolean search allows users to narrow down their search results and find more relevant information.
  
  How to use it: 
  To use Boolean search in SAP software, users must first enter the keywords or phrases they want to search for. Then, they can use Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT to combine the keywords and phrases into a search query. For example, if a user wants to find information about “SAP software” and “business intelligence”, they can enter the following query: “SAP software AND business intelligence”. This will return results that contain both terms. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using Boolean search in SAP software, it is important to remember that the order of the keywords and phrases matters. For example, if a user enters “SAP software OR business intelligence”, the results will be different than if they entered “business intelligence OR SAP software”. Additionally, users should be aware that some words are excluded from Boolean searches by default, such as “the” and “a”.
