THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND - GEORGE BOOLE

George Boole is the inventor of "Boolean Algebra" and "Boolean Searching." He known for his concepts in the field of mathematical logic, and his concepts in computer science or information science. Boole established the method of "And, Or, and Not" when selecting the appropriate options for connecting search terms to find information in search engines like Google. This information was found on the San Jose University website.

"Boolean Searching" is an effective way to search for information in a database. Boole developed the method in the 19th century, and it is based on the logical relationship among search terms. Each search term is connected by a "Boolean Operator". The three operators are "And", "Or", and "Not." "And" searches for occurrences in all of the search terms in a single record. "Or" searches for records that contain any of the tearms. "Not" searches for records that contain the first term but not the second term. This information was found in The Research Process: Books & Beyond.

Boole's system has helped the research and information age tremendously. His method has been used for centuries, and will continued to be used.
