Boolean Operators

The OR operator and the AND operator (note the uppercase) are available in all fields. For example, you may search for Degas or Pissaaro in the Artist Field by entering:
   degas OR pissarro
The AND operator works within a single field. Thus searching for
   american AND western
in the Curator's Object Class Field will find records with both american and western in any order in the Curator's Object Class Field.

Tips: You can mix fields and logical operators. Try a search for
Curator's Object Class: classical
Registrar's Object Type: utilitarian
