I'm aware that if I want to search for a tag, I just type "[~~~]" in the search bar (just replace the tildes with the tag you want). But what if I want to include other things with it? How would the Boolean operators AND or OR fit with the tag?
For example, if I want to search for all posts with the windows-8 tag that contain the word explorer, would I have to type "[windows-8] AND explorer" or could I just type "[windows-8] explorer"?
The OR operator is used combine the results from searching multiple tags.
There does not appear to be an AND operator.
[windows-8] and explorer gives 1054 results for SuperUser.
[windows-8] explorer gives 1295 results.
If you need to refine and narrow your search, here are some basic tips:
To search within specific tag(s), enter them in square brackets: [maintenance] seat searches for mentions of "seat" within the [maintenance] tag.
...
OR operator
To combine results from multiple tags, separate the tag names (enclosed in square brackets) with the word "or": [widgets] or [geegaws] returns questions tagged with either tag.
OR operator is for; I just used the example I gave as that: an example.

[windows-8] explorer is indeed just the equivalent of the AND operator? It would do the same?

OR tag not require all caps like, say, a Google search would?

[windows-8] explorer is not the same as including and. See the answer. Number of results is different. It look like including and means the literal word and not an AND operator.
