George Boole was a mathematician and philosopher who invented Boolean logic, which is used in database searching to combine terms. Boolean logic uses operators like AND, OR, and NOT to refine search results by requiring multiple concepts, using synonyms, distinguishing meanings, or eliminating specific topics. Practicing Boolean logic helps understand how to use operators to increase recall of information or focus search results.
