Use Phrases. To find pages that contain a specific phrase, place the phrase in quotations, as in "Marine Protected Area". Multiple words enclosed by quotation marks are treated as a single search phrase

Use AND. To find two or more words/phrases that appear on the same page use the operator AND.

Example:

* "marine protected area" AND coral reefs
