Retail;Sales - Show series with either keyword and series with both keywords while the sequence of keywords is irrelevant, equivalent to search: Sales;Retail
Retail OR Sales - Show results: series with terms of Retail OR Sales, regardless of the sequence. E. g. Retail Sales, Retail Trade, Sales Price, Motor Vehicle Sales
Retail NOT Sales - Narrow a search by excluding specific terms while the sequence of keywords is relevant. Show results: series with terms that include Retail, but NOT Sales. E. g. Retail Trade, Retail Price, Retail Bank
Retail Sales NOT (Hong Kong) - Narrow a search by excluding a set of words in parentheses while the sequence of keywords in parentheses is irrelevant, equivalent to search: Retail Sales NOT (Hong Kong). Show results: series with terms that include Retail Sales, but NOT Hong Kong, such as Retail Sales YoY: China, Retail Sales YoY: United States
