# Phrase Search

The Content component provides these phrase searching options:

- Phrase occurrence search. Use a phrase occurrence search to find documents that contain a certain number of occurrences of a phrase.

- Default phrase search. Put your search string in quotation marks to treat the string as a phrase and return only documents in which a matching phrase occurs (a phrase in a document qualifies as a match if it stems the same way as the query phrase).

- Exact phrase search. Enable AdvancedSearch before you index content into the Content component to find exact matches for terms or phrases. In this case, if you query Content with a term or a phrase in quotation marks, it matches them in their exact (unstemmed) form.

- Case-sensitive exact phrase search. Enable AdvancedCaseSearch before you index content into the Content component to find case-sensitive exact matches for terms or phrases. You can then query Content with a term or a phrase in quotation marks, to match them in their exact (unstemmed) form, or prefix a term with a tilde (~) to find only case-sensitive matches. For more information about case-sensitive searching, refer to Knowledge Discovery Expert.
