Exact Phrase Searches

When using the Exact Phrase search criteria, you don't need to add quotation marks. Just enter the phrase you want to find. Search will return results that contain at least one occurrence of the exact string of words you entered in the exact order you entered them, except for common words. Punctuation doesn't affect Exact Phrase searches.

Keyword Searches (Any Words, All Words)

An Any Words query will return results containing at least one occurrence of at least one of the keywords you enter. This is the least specific type of search, and usually returns a large result set. If you are having trouble getting results for your query, use an Any Words query.
An All Words query is more specific and requires that results contain at least one occurrence of every keyword you enter. For keyword searches, Search will treat anything separated by spaces as distinct words. Search ignores punctuation.
