     According the "Effective Online Searching: A Basic Text" (by Borgman, 
     Moghdam and Corbett, this would be referred to as a "compound" or a 
     "multiple concept" search strategy.  Hope this helps.

     Dear Web4Libers, 
     
     Hope you take the adage, "The only dumb question is the one unasked" 
     to heart as I ask: 
     
     In boolean searching, what do you call the search strategy when you 
     use one or more pairs in parentheses.  An example: 
     
(Cats or Dogs) (Mice or Birds) 
     
Thanks for not laughing.
