#147698 - Use quotes to search for a phrase
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Richard said:
I ran a search on EPP and then on Enhanced Parallel Port, and found that, in the latter case, only two of the ten or so "hits" contained the search term.

In your second example, you probably didn't put quotes around the phrase. Without them, a "hit" is any document that contains all three words, but not necessarily together and not in any particular order. Try searching for "enhanced parallel port" (with the quotes) and I bet you'll get what you want.
