You can use two Boolean shortcuts to look for a specific Keyword in your Boolean Query or to organize your query in order to better distinguish your sets of keywords.

Autocomplete and Suggestions

The Boolean Editor now offers autocomplete and suggestions to streamline your query setup. As you type, helpful hints and valid Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) will pop up, guiding you to structure your queries correctly and quickly. This feature aims to reduce errors and save you time by providing immediate assistance as you build your query.

To use autocomplete:

  • Start typing your query in the Boolean Editor.

  • As you type, autocomplete suggestions will appear, including Boolean operators and parentheses.

  • Select the operator you want to use in the list by clicking on it.

Query Templates Access

You can access a variety of ready-made query templates tailored to specific regions, including Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and LATAM countries. These templates serve as a global assistant, helping you quickly set up relevant queries without having to list every country within the sphere you are looking for.

In order to use a template:

  • Start typing the region you want to restrict the query to. Possible options are include Europe, Africa, Middle East, and LATAM

  • With your mouse cursor, click on the template that appears in the suggestions box

All of the country codes for that region will be automatically listed for you.


Look for your keyword

Applying Ctrl+F or Cmd+F will help you to look up a keyword which is useful in case you have a long query.


Organize your Query

Instead, Ctrl+i or Cmd+i will help you rearrange your set of keywords and commands to better read your query. This is helpful if you have a query with numerous commands and operators.

For example, if you have created this query:

Below is the result if you use the shortcut in the above query:
