Find All of the Words search
This type of search tells the search engine to find pages containing the key-
words in no particular order or location. This is the most basic search: an
AND search.
The order in which you type the words affects the results. When doing a Find
All of the Words search, Google starts by doing a Find the Exact Phrase
search, so the order is important.
Advanced Search page: Type the search words into the Find Results with All
of the Words box and then click the Google Search button.
Toolbar/home page: Type the words into the search box and then press
Enter or click the Google Search button.
Syntax example: rodent racing scores
Google finds all the pages containing all three words: rodents, racing, and
scores. If Google can’t find a page with all three words, it doesn’t return any
pages.
Google is case insensitive. It doesn’t care whether you type search words in
uppercase, or lowercase, or mixed case. If you type RODENT RACING, it also
finds rodent racing, Rodent Racing, and so on.
Find the Exact Phrase search
If you know the exact phrase you’re looking for, tell the search engine to
return only pages with the words in the order in which you type them. This
type of search provides you with fewer search results than the Find All of the
Words search.
Advanced Search page: Type the words into the Find Results with the Exact
Phrase box in the order you expect to see those words in the search results.
Toolbar/home page: Type the words into the search box enclosed in quota-
tion marks.
Syntax example: “rodent racing scores"
