Nesting & Order of Operations
•Order of operations can be controlled using parentheses.
(peter pre/3 hook) not/3 (pan or captain)
•Operations within parentheses are resolved first, then those results are used in
resolving the rest of the search.
•Nested parentheses are also allowed.
((peter pre/3 hook) not/3 (pan or captain)) and “journal of law”
The innermost set of parentheses are processed first.
•As a general rule, any time you use two or more connectors or operators, you should use parentheses to control the order of the search.
