Boolean expressions in unstructured FM9

[Mary Sheahan]

Thank you!  That's the clue I needed.  Here's the final syntax:
 
"Canadian" OR "Brand1" ANDNOT "Domestic"  
and
"Domestic" OR "Brand1" ANDNOT "Canadian"  
 
Thanks again,
Mary

Hi Mary,

Try something like this:

"Canada" AND "Brand1" ANDNOT "Brand2" ANDNOT "Brand3" ANDNOT "Brand4"... ANDNOT "Domestic"

HTH,
Mike

Unfortunately I am getting an invalid expression when I try to set up the situation I would need. This is not even attempting proper syntax -- is it possible to do this in unstructured FM9?
