Search For A Phrase
How do you search for a phrase? ie, if I wanted to search for snow in Maine, how would I enter it so I only get that phrase and not everything on Maine or snow. Only on SNOW IN MAINE.

In TSG or a web search engine?

In TSG, I "think" the only way is to use "Search with Google" and then put the phrase in quotes. IE: "snow in maine".

With a web search engine, put the phrase in quotes.
