Video Tutorial: A Beginner's Guide to Boolean Operators Talkwalker

What are Boolean operators, and how do they relate to social media analytics? Put simply, they are keywords such as OR, AND or NEAR/x that allow you to broaden or restrict the range of your search queries. This logic system, invented by mathematician Georges Boole, has become the backbone of several search engines, and Talkwalker's search queries are no exception.
