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.
