How do I search for keywords as a phrase?
Answer
To search several keywords together as a phrase, put quotation marks around the words. This will search the words together in the exact order in which you've placed them. Quotation Marks will work in almost all databases and most search engines like Google. It's a very easy way to immediately refine and reduce your results.
