If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry +Potter
Search results will contain 'Potter'.
- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter

eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.

In addition to his training activities, he is the author of more than 20 books in the field of language, communication and culture.
BEBC Book of the month: This new 124-page book aims to help business students write clear documents and is full of sound advice. 'Writing' certainly provides a wealth of relevant tasks: it is especially good for self-study. The 'best practice' section on email etiquette is excellent, and the many 'cultural tips' boxes are useful. One nice feature is the inclusion of memorable quotes about writing that introduce each unit. Recommended. (Reviews by Pete Sharma for the Bournemouth English Book Centre)
