  • Exclude terms by using a minus (-) symbol (e.g. searching 'vegetable oil' -'palm oil' will return all results about vegetable oil unless they include a reference to palm oil).

  • Expand your search by using or (e.g. searching “sunflower oil” “palm oil” will surface results containing both phrases, but searching "sunflower oil” or “palm oil" provides you with results that contain either phrase).
