Search Engines

For Finding Quotations

A-Z How to Find Information > Quotations

 
  • On Google and on many other search engines, you can search for a phrase by enclosing the words in quotation marks. For example, enter "I wandered lonely"
  • You can enter several phrases at once. For example: "I wandered lonely" "saw a crowd" "host of golden daffodils"
  • You can enter a mixture of phrases and single words. For example: wandered crowd "host of golden daffodils"
  • On Google, you can enter an asterisk in place of an unknown word. For example: "host of * daffodils". You can enter two asterisks in place of two unknown words and so on
  • If your first attempt doesn't give the desired result, try searching with fewer words or phrases in case you have remembered them incorrectly
