Using Double Quotes for exact matching of words and phrases

Using double quotes “” will find an exact word or phrase and disables stemming.

  • Wildcards – both * and ? are ignored when using quotes

  • Within phrases in quotes AND, OR, NOT are treated as words which are part of the search expression, not Boolean operators.

  • Proximity Operators are ignored within quotes
