Google adds OR operator

It looks like Google has finally introduced support for the Boolean OR operator. It must be entered in all upper case as in x OR y. Google still does not support Nesting, AND, or NOT, so use of the OR operator involves some careful ordering of terms.

Google has made some other changes to its layout and color schemes on the results page. Most useful to searchers is that onthe cached page copies, each search term is now highlighted with a different color and is so identified at the top of the page. Google review, search engine chart, and search engines by feature pages updated.
