Google, Microsoft, Ebay, oracle, HP, IBM, conveo all support boolean operators. The OP might have had it disabled.

Old timer elitism, newbie (whatever), and the time delay aside, I searched for "Boolean search engines" today and it took me exactly where I needed to go:

this page.

I thank you.

If I use Google and want to get an EXACT return of a search term I am looking for, the terms need to be enclosed in quotes:
"Lion kills man" will return the exact results that I put into the search bar. If I put in just.....Lion kills man, it will give me different results, similar to if I use the OR search term. I do not think the AND operator/search term is valid with Google.
