The title: operator searches just the headline of articles and is NOT case sensitive. This tells Cision to return only articles that include Target AND “store” OR Target AND “shopping” OR “Target” AND “Shoppers but NOT if “archery”, “archer” or “shooting” exist anywhere in the article. ( "Target" AND ( "store" OR "shopping" OR "shoppers" ) ) NOT ( "archery" OR “archer" OR "shooting" ) Finally, it will exclude any remaining articles that contain “archery”, or “archer” or “shooting”. It will then only keep articles that contain the word “Target”. The search below will first find articles that mention store, or shopping or shoppers. Parentheses are used to group keywords or phrases together to combine several search statements into one search statement. An article that reads, “Amazon and its Prime Now service”, would not pull, unless “Amazon Prime Now” was precisely used elsewhere. This tells Cision to only return articles that contain the phrase “Amazon Prime Now”, whether those words are upper or lowercase. Quotation marks are used to lock in an order of words as a precise phrase, regardless of case (unless otherwise specified). This tells Cision to exclude articles about Microsoft that also mention Apple, except if Apple Juice is also mentioned in the article. (( "Microsoft" OR "Microsoft’s" ) NOT ( "Apple" AND NOT "Apple Juice" )) In a circumstance where you want to exclude a term, but only when another term is NOT mentioned you can use “AND NOT” within a NOT string to, essentially, mean “unless.” someone talks about purchasing a “bullseye” at the store “Target”), it would NOT pull that article. For example, if a relevant article contained the word “bullseye” as well as “Target” (e.g. NOTE: Be careful with how many NOT keywords you use because any keyword affected by the NOT operator always takes priority in the search. This tells Cision to return only articles that contain “Target” but NOT if the article also has the word “bullseye”. The NOT operator excludes articles that contain specified terms in the article. This tells Cision to return only those articles that contain either/both of the phrase(s): “cell phones” or “mobile phones”. The OR operator broadens the search to include articles that contain one or more of the search terms. This tells Cision to return only those articles that contain all of the words: "Target", "store" and "holiday". The AND operator, used in conjunction with multiple terms, requires that all terms must exist in an article for it to match.

Įven with this guide, we encourage you to reach out to us for additional help. To search for a term in only the headline or body of an article, click here. Note : Unless otherwise specified, a term can be in the headline or body of an article. An article with “Target” and “stores” would not pull “store” would need to be mentioned. Similarly, searching for (“Target” AND “store”) will only pull results where both of those words are mentioned exactly as they are written in the search. the search terms you require or exclude) must appear exactly as they do in the article for it to pull, or not pull, into your dashboard or alert.įor example, a search for the singular version of the word “Kitten” will not match articles where only the plural, “Kittens”, are mentioned, unless the singular “Kitten” also appears in the article. Keep in mind that a Boolean search is literal. There are many other more advanced Boolean operators in Cision that can do things like: AND, OR, and NOT are the primary operators of Boolean logic. Simply speaking, a Boolean search is an expression that results in a value of either TRUE or FALSE (in our world, that an article matches the search term(s) or doesn’t).
