Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., FTC +rule).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., AI -deepfake).

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term s (e.g. "lawsuit" instead of "lawsuits").
