Explore Core: The Common-Name Challenge

In Explore Core: Building Effective Searches, you learned how Boolean can help you capture relevant conversations while filtering out the noise. Here is a safe place where you can practice your new knowledge. You can also practice in Explore and test your search to see if you are getting the results you expected.

 

How it works

  1. Build the Boolean query.
  2. Add your solution as a reply below.
  3. Once you post your reply, compare your solution with other learners.
  4. We’ll send you the answer key.

 

Let’s Practice

 

You can write the Boolean query yourself or describe what you’d ask the AI Search Assistant to create.

 

The Brand With a Common Name 🍎

Choose a brand whose name is also an everyday word, such as Apple, Target, or Dove. Build a brand search that:

  • Includes the brand name
  • Adds at least 3 terms that establish brand context
  • Excludes at least 2 unrelated meanings

 

Build and post your Boolean query. Tell us which brand you chose!

How I love the AI Search Assistant, it makes this so easy 😄

I’ve chosen the brand Lotus Bakeries. In Belgium it’s known as Lotus which is also a flower and a car so I’ll need to exclude these from the results.

 

("Lotus Bakeries" OR "Lotus Biscoff" OR Biscoff OR Lotus)

AND

("speculoos" OR "caramelized biscuits" OR cookies OR biscuits OR spreads OR bakery OR "Biscoff cookies" OR "Biscoff spread" OR "Biscoff sandwich cookies" OR "Biscoff ice cream")

NOT ("Lotus Cars" OR "Lotus Elise" OR "Lotus Emira" OR "Lotus Evija" OR "lotus flower" OR "lotus flowers")
