    When I avail of the 'Search' feature in this site and type in, e.g., three words, the results are based on anything related to each individual word. For example, if I wanted to search for 'Best antivirus software' it would return results based on 'best, antivirus, software'. Are there other search options available, such as 'Search complete phrase' rather than individual words only? I suspect that I'm missing something here, so I'd appreciate some enlightenment. Thank you. :confused:

    I think "Best antivirus software" is what you are looking for. The problem is your results will be based on the exact phrase between the "'s. Without the quote gives you many pages and with them gives nothing.
