Phrase Searching Block H

**What is it?** Phrase searching enables people to search for information using combined words that are ordered side by side in a specific sequence ("Phrase searching." //Monash University Library). // Phrase searching is very useful and applicable to the needs of people researching. A word on its own can often have a different meaning than when it is put together with another word, thus resulting in websites that do not necessarily apply to a specific topic ("Phrase searching." //University of Ford Hare //). For example, the word ‘happy’ can mean emotion while the word ‘feet’ can mean a body part.  However when using the phrase search to research “happy feet”, when these two words are put together, it will enable you to research about the Warner Brothers movie, “happy feet”. Instead of having to sift through thousands of websites about happy and feet, your search is narrowed down to the exact phrase that you wish to look for. By taking use of quotation marks (“ “) of a phrase search, it is indicated to the search engine that you are searching only for the exact words in the exact order ("Phrase searching." //University of Ford Hare //). __**How to use Phrase search in Google**__ > By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. Google already uses the order and the fact that the words are together as a very strong signal and will stray from it only for a good reason, so quotes are usually unnecessary. By insisting on phrase search you might be missing good results accidentally. For example, a search for [ "Alexander Bell" ] (with quotes) will miss the pages that refer to Alexander //G.// Bell.  > Google allows you to specify that your search results must come from a given website. For example, the query [ iraq site:nytimes.com ] will return pages about Iraq but only from nytimes.com. The simpler queries [ iraq nytimes.com ] or [ iraq New York Times ] will usually be just as good, though they might return results from other sites that mention the New York Times. You can also specify a whole class of sites, for example [ iraq site:.gov ] will return results only from a .gov domain and [ iraq site:.iq ] will return results only from Iraqi sites.
