For example, if I wanted to learn more about Dolly Parton, I would search "Dolly Parton AND adversity".  This search would let me know that Dolly grew up impoverished.  Searching "Dolly Parton AND poverty" lead me to information on her imagination library.  From there, I would search "Dolly Parton's Imagination Library AND mission" to learn about why the Imagination Library was founded.
