Important Announcement for Boolean Users

Stop using url: and link: in your boolean. Instead, use site: and containslink:, respectively.

Why? 

• They execute faster
• Make for cleaner boolean
• Better for our backend systems

How do I Implement? 

• For saved searches that are causing issues (failing, long loading time, etc.): 
  • Check the Boolean to see whether you use wildcard-heavy Boolean operators like url: or link:.
  • If so, simply update your searches to replace the operators and remove wildcards, like site: instead of url: and containslink: instead of link: 
• For new searches:
  • Make sure to use the site: and the containslink: operators without wildcards. You should no longer need to use url: or link:.

How does this work? 

Do I need to go into all my accounts and update the searches today?

• Nope! For now, you can update searches as needed. For example when you notice that a search is not working as expected, or you are editing a saved search.
