A natural language query is one that is expressed using normal conversational syntax; that is, you phrase your query as if making a spoken or written statement to another person. There are no syntax rules or conventions for you to learn.

Natural language queries generally find more relevant information in less time than traditional Boolean queries, which, while precise, require strict interpretation that can often exclude information that is relevant to your interests.
