2.3.4 Phrase searching

A phrase search looks for a string of words next to each other exactly as keyed (in the same order).

Most search tools allow phrase searching.

For example:

A phrase search of the above paragraph for "ethical theories" would find the instance highlighted in red font.

Usually double quotation marks “ ” are required around the phrase. However sometimes, the search tool will assume a phrase, in which case quotation marks are not required.

Note: Check the Help screens of the search tool to determine what syntax is required.
