What is a query?

Introduction to queries

A query is a request generated by the platform to gather information based on the prompt you provided with your topics of interests. It’s how the system narrows down and organizes the most relevant results for your chosen subject.

Our AI creates queries using Boolean operators (like AND, OR, NOT) to refine and filter the search results according to your preferences.

How Boolean Operators Work:

1️⃣  AND

• Use this to find results that include all of the terms you specify.

• Example: EV AND charging

• Finds articles that mention both "electric vehicles" (EV) and "charging."

2️⃣  OR

• Use this to find results that include either of the terms you specify.
• Example: EV OR hybrid
• Finds articles that mention either "electric vehicles" or "hybrid cars."

3️⃣  NOT

• Use this to exclude specific terms from your search.
• Example: EV NOT Tesla
• Finds articles about electric vehicles, excluding anything related to Tesla.

If you're not satisfied with the articles you're receiving, it might be time to review your query and make adjustments to better tailor it to your needs. For detailed steps, refer to the "Edit a query" article.
