or Connector

Use the or connector to find documents that contain either or both of the words or phrases linked by or. Use the or connector to link search words that are synonyms, antonyms, alternative spellings, or abbreviations.

Synonymsship or vessel or boat
Antonymsreasonable or unreasonable
Alternativestakeover or take over
Abbreviationsbritish broadcasting corporation or b.b.c. or bbc

The search looks for the words or phrases linked by the or connector, not the word "or" itself. The words or phrases linked by or can be in any part of a document.

Note: You can use a space in place of or if you wish. The two connectors operate the same way.
