Searching - Phrase Searching

To search for a phrase in a document use double-quotes to delimit your search terms. For example:

"this is a phrase"

You cannot use boolean search terms inside a phrase. That is:

this and that

finds pages with both words "this" and "that", but:

"this and that"

finds pages that have the phrase "that and that". A phrase can consist of a single word, so this is how to search for the words used as boolean operators:

this "and" that

finds pages that contain all three words, but in any order.
