ANDNOT – If any of these words are included in the article, it will not give a hit: Nordea ANDNOT Swedbank (here Swedbank is excluded).
* – You get all the prefixes/endings of the word that you have truncated: Nordea* OR bank*
" " – Phrase search: "Svenska Handelsbanken"
( ) – When using several alternative keywords, these need to be in parentheses (Swedbank OR "Danske Bank") ANDNOT (Nordea OR Handelsbanken)
