Effective Search Strategies: Combining Keywords 4
4 Effective Search Strategies: Find the Search Mistakes
work-life balance AND (“parental leave” OR “flex time”)
1) Put double quotations around work-life balance to search for it as a phrase
2) Parental leave and flex time are not synonyms. Better synonyms might be: “paternity leave” OR “maternity leave”
4 Effective Search Strategies: Find the Search Mistakes
“policies in the workplace” AND (“employee wellness program” AND “employee assistance program”)
1) This phrase is more like a sentence. It’s too specific and will probably limit your search results.
2) This AND should be an OR since “employee wellness program” and “employee assistance program” are synonyms.
