Phrase Searching

A phrase is a group of two or more words used as a unit. Examples:

  • market research
  • point-of-sale advertising

Phrase searching narrows your search to any entries that include the exact phrase.

Quotation marks are most often used to indicate a phrase. Search engines such as Google use quotation marks for phrase searching.
