Searching for phrases involves looking for a specific sequence of words in a search query, while using keywords involves searching for individual words or phrases that may or may not be in a specific order.
To avoid using keywords, try using quotation marks around multiple words in a search query. This will tell the search engine to look for that exact phrase rather than individual words.
Yes, searching for phrases can improve the accuracy of your search results because it allows you to specify exactly what you are looking for. This can help filter out irrelevant results and provide more precise results.
Another technique for searching for phrases is to use asterisks (*) as wildcards. This will allow you to search for a phrase while leaving certain words within that phrase open-ended. For example, "finding * in the *".
One downside to searching for phrases is that it may limit the range of results you receive. If the exact phrase you are searching for is not commonly used, you may miss out on relevant information that uses similar keywords or synonyms. It is important to use a combination of searching for phrases and keywords to get a comprehensive set of results.
