"Quotation markets"

Put quotes around search terms to let you search exactly for that word.

All results will have your terms in it.

Example: "James Clear"

Gives you all James Clear search results without just "James" or just "Clear".

– Dashes

If you want to exclude a term from your search, include a hyphen before that word.
