23. Searching Tips-Phrase Searching
• There are two options for searching a phrase:
– Loose phrase search – double quotes “ “
– Exact phrase search – single quotes ‘ ‘
• Loose phrase search – enclose in double quotes
– Will search for documents where the words are adjacent to each other
– Does not insert the AND operator
– Will ignore punctuation, e.g, hyphens or apostrophes,
• e.g., “heart-attack” will find docs with and without the hyphen
• “C++” or “C” will find the same results
• Exact phrase search – enclose in single quotes
– Stop words, punctuation, special characters and wildcards are searched
– ‘C++’ will only return docs with this exact character combination
– ‘C’ will return different results
– Searching for quotation marks requires a before the actual quotation mark
