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

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

Simplest form: Use the simplest form of a term (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls" or "entity list" instead of "entity listing").
