Phrase search (””)
By putting double quotes around a set of words, you are telling Google Social Search to consider the exact words in that exact order without any change. For example, search
“Best VPN Software”
will find only pages where this exact phrase is shared.
Terms you want to exclude (-)
Attaching a minus sign immediately before a word indicates that you do not want pages that contain this word to appear in your results. The minus sign should appear immediately before the word and should be preceded with a space. For example, query
Travel Insurance -Europe
will show posts mentioning “Travel Insurance” but exclude all results that contain the word “Europe”.
The OR operator
Google Social Search’s default behavior is to consider all the words in a search. If you want to specifically allow either one of several words, you can use the OR operator (note that you have to type ‘OR’ in ALL CAPS). For example, query
“Credit Card” OR “Personal Loan”
will return posts that include either “Credit Card” or “Personal Loan”.
