# How do I define keywords and text search for Research/News Archive?

**Search language - how to write a search:**

When searching in the **News Archive**, you sometimes need to use **Boolean search language**. This is to be able to do as relevant and focused a search as possible. In the list below you will find examples of all the most common searches and how to best write such a search.

**OR** – Some of the keywords must be included in the article to give a hit: Nordea OR Swedbank.  
**AND** – All keywords must be included in the article to hit: Nordea AND Swedbank.

**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)

**NEAR** – The keywords must be within 4 words of each other: Nordea NEAR Swedbank

**NEAR/X** – The keywords must be within as many words of each other as you type: Nordea NEAR/10 Swedbank  
**ONEAR** – The first word in the search must be before the second, and that they must be at most 4 words apart: Nordea ONEAR Swedbank  
**ONEAR/X** – The first word in the search must be before the second, and that they must not be more than x words apart: Nordea ONEAR/25 Swedbank
