Yes. It is documented in the online help. It also depends a little on
what version of Lotus Notes you are using.

Here is one link with some info:

I think that it was in Notes 8 you get "google style" search, so that
you don't need to use boolean searches.

But in earlier versions you use the method documented in the online
help:

election AND France

election AND Not "United Kingdom"
