What are Boolean Queries?

Boolean queries are searches for keywords that include operator words like AND, OR, and NOT, as well as some symbols. The term Boolean means a result that can only have one of two possible values: true or false.

Where can I use Boolean Queries?

You can enter Boolean queries:

In the search bar of the Feed Results page, to find specific content. In the Feed Configuration page, to include or exclude placements that contain or do not contain specific expressions.

Advanced queries in the Search Bar

You can combine the power of boolean queries and some placement fields we made available to you to find very specific content and define tag automations from your feed results page.

For example, you can type MIV: [1000 TO 10000] to filter articles in this MIV range.

Here is the list of the fields available for these advanced queries:
