Query
A keyword , group of keywords or phrase, with or without
special instructions like Boolean operators, used in a search
. In simpler terms, it is that which the user enters into the
search box. It is what the search engine compares documents to
in order to return only relevant documents.
Query-by-example / find similar
Many search engines have a "find similar" feature that allows
users to request documents the search engine considers similar
to the document the user specifies.
Quote(s)
When used in a search , the quote marks ' " ' tell most
systems that you only want to see matches that are exactly
like what you are asking for. For example, a search for
'electric light', entered without the single quotes, will
return much different results than "electric light" entered
with the quotes as shown.
