The next time you search Google, eBay, or any (most) search boxes try search for something in this fashion:

Thanks for the tip. Working in IT I found Super+L to lock the computer to be very helpful.

But I will post here:
The +querry will enforce the word that follows in the search.
So if I search for "dog +white" all search results will contain the word white.

In 1938 an MIT grad student, Claude Shannon, noticed that George's true/false logic system fit nicely with computer science's 0/1 binary bent. Thanks to Shannon, Boole's logic was discovered to be the most sensible way to sift through vast amounts of computer-based data and the Boolean search was born.
