How would you define a phrase...

In terms of search engine query terms how would you define a phrase?

[Dreamquick]

Just been playing about with extracting & cleaning up search engine query terms from my logfiles but I have a question...

What exactly qualifies as a "phrase"?

Is it only quoted terms (e.g. "sand on beaches") or is it any set of terms (quoted or not) which frequently occur together?

I have always thought of it to be quoted "yada yada" for it to be classed as a phrase.
