Heat OR Thermodynamics
The OR operator expands the search by retrieving those documents in
which either of or both of the keyword appear. This operator is usually
used for:

Chemistry NOT Organic chemistry
The NOT operator limits the search by retrieving only first keyword
but not second, even if the first word appears in that document too.
The NOT operator should be used with care, as it is easy to
eliminate relevant documents as well as irrelevant.
