Adding Quotation Marks
Quotation marks specify phrases instead of individual words.
Maybe you're looking for something that can't be expressed in a single word, such as "Persian cats," "computer games," "drug therapy," "stock portfolio," "sports cars." If you type in sports car (with no quotation marks), then you'll end up with a listing of every Web site that has the word 'sports' and every Web site that has the word 'car'.
When searching for a phrase, make sure to enclose it in quotation marks:
- "cross-country skiing"
- "early nineteenth century literature"
- "Jane Doe"
- "Great Barrier Reef"
Click Submit on each of the following search queries and see how the quotation marks change the results listings.
