How Google search works with quotes

Search engines should ideally always bring the results you want. If this is not the case, you can specify the search query manually. Quotation marks are one way to do this, and we explain what they do for Google.

Google understands quotation marks as a clear instruction to search as precisely as possible.

Searching with quotation marks is by no means new: it was already known and widespread among ordinary users at the beginning of the Internet era. Even today, the application can still make sense.

This is what Google search with quotes brings

Quotation marks fall into the class of so-called search operators.

• Their goal is the exact match, also known as "exact match".
• The application makes sense, for example, if you are looking for a group of words in exact order and want to hide other suggestions.
• In the results you get more possibly relevant entries higher up.
• By using quotes, the search goes into deeper index levels. In this way, the pool of matching results does not necessarily get smaller.

Searching with quotes can therefore be useful for several purposes, such as when the previous search did not produce satisfactory results. You can use the quotation marks both for single keywords and for groups of words, often applying them to multiple words.
