Searching for exact words or phrases

When you search in the information center, you can identify some words or phrases as an exact string by enclosing them in double quotation marks.

About this task

For example, when you input "log file" in the Search field instead of log file, you search for the string log file. Without the double quotation marks, the search term is interpreted to find instances of both the word log and the word file in the topics.
Note: In English and German only, the search engine "stem" other forms of a single search word. For example, a search for the word challenge will also find the word challenging. Enclose the term that you enter in the Search field with double quotation marks when you do not want your search results to include such variations of the term.
