When Searching, What Does Placing The Words In Quotes Make The Search Do?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Everything inside the quote marks is searched for as a phrase, so searching for "cats and dogs" needs that exact phrase to appear in the documents you're searching.   Without the quotes, each of the words is looked for independently of each other.
