Searching for exact words or phrases

You can identify a search phrase as an exact string by enclosing it in double quotes.

For example, "log file" searches for the string log file, not the separate words log and file. Without the double quotes, the search finds instances of both the word log and the word file in the topics.

In English and German only, the search engine "stems" other forms of a single search word. For example, a search for the word challenge also finds the word challenging. If you do not want your search results to include these variations, use double quotes around your search query.
