Phrase Searches

Search for complete phrases.You should not enclose them in quotation marks. Words will appear together in all results exactly as you have entered them. Phrase searches are especially useful when searching for exact sayings or proper names.

If you know the website you want to search but aren't sure where the information is located within that site, you can use Tlinks to search only that domain. Do this by entering what you're looking for followed by the word "site" and a colon followed by the domain name.
