# Exact Phrase Search

You can search for exact phrases rather than conceptual matches by putting quotation marks (`" "`) around a string of words.

For example:

    http://localhost:9000/action=Query&Text="world market"

When AdvancedSearch is set to `True` in the configuration file, this query matches the phrase exactly, without stemming any of the terms. When AdvancedSearch is set to `False`, the query matches the stemmed terms, but they must still appear in the specified order and proximity. In both cases, IDOL Server removes any stop words from the query phrase, unless you are also usingStopWordIndex.

To search for multiple strings, separate the individual strings with plus symbols or spaces and put quotation marks around each string.

For example:

    http://localhost:9000/action=Query&Text="birthday party" "gift wrap" "surprise guest"

Note: To search for a string that contains a text symbol, you must use a FieldText query (see the FieldText action parameter).
