Sometimes a simple search produces a disappointing results list. The query may
not locate any matching documents, the results list may be too short, or the
documents in the results list may not contain the information you are looking
for. In these instances, you may need to broaden your search in order to retrieve
a more promising results list.
The OR operator finds pages that match at least one the terms in the query. You may find documents that match crab, but not lobster or shrimp. The pages may also contain more than one term.
