Quotation marks allow exact phrase searches
Wrap search terms in quotation marks to search for an exact phrase consisting of one or more words.
Search terms in quotation marks are treated as exact phrase searches. When you search for an exact phrase, Zing only matches documents that contain the quoted words in the exact order you specify.
As an example, searching for email password returns search results that include email and password in any order, including records with these text strings:
- enter your email password
- your email account password
If you search for the quoted phrase "email password", Zing returns search results with text enter your email password because they contain email password as an exact phrase. It doesn't return results with text your email account password because the search terms don't occur in the exact order specified in your search phrase.
Exact phrase searches ignore:
- stop words
- punctuation marks
- wildcard characters
Note:
Wildcard characters are ignored as punctuation.
For example, searching for the phrase "email password" returns the same search results as these phrases:
- "email the password" because the stop word the is ignored.
- "email password?" because the punctuation mark ? is ignored.
- "email password*" because the wildcard character * is ignored as punctuation.
