Phrase Search allows searching of article text for keyword phrases. The phrase must be enclosed in quotation marks to ensure that multiple words appearing next to one another in a specified order will be found within article text.
Entering the query "affirmative action" returns articles that contain the phrase affirmative action. Articles that contain both affirmative and action but not together will not be returned.
Similarly, the query "San Francisco" only returns articles that contain the phrase San Francisco, rather than articles that may include either word separately such as San Antonio, San Andreas Fault, Anthony Francisco Giacossa, etc.
