9. Advanced Searches
A Phrase search is where you add speech marks to the beginning and end of a phrase “”. By doing this it tells the search engine you are looking for a certain phrase e.g. the name of a song, rather than random key words.
A Negative Search - by adding a – immediately before a word e.g. –homework, it tells the search engine that you don’t want the search to display this word. It is useful when a word has two meanings e.g. squash, by adding in –drink the search will be more likely to bring up results about the sport, rather than the drink.
