Search Syntax extending phrase search? -- e.g. "dvd movies" "more deta

[daveboy]

Hi everybody,

I wonder how I can do a search on Yahoo Web Search that only returns pages containing TWO exact phrases?

On Google I would do:
"green widgets" more
[google.com...]

That yields results. However, on Yahoo it doesn't seem to work:
[search.yahoo.com...]
There I get a huge number of results

Another example would be:
"green widgets" "more details"
Google: [google.com...] (241,000)
Yahoo: [search.yahoo.com...] (1,420,000)

Does anybody have an idea how to search Yahoo to get the appropriate results?

Many thanks in advance.
David

Hi daveboy, and welcome to webmasterworld :)

The syntax you mentioned works fine for me on Yahoo. Is there a reason you think it isn't working, other than the number of results?
