Another tip that comes to mind with Phrase Searching is to put multiple search terms in parentheses. This will narrow down the results to search for just the phrase that you entered in the parentheses. For example, if you search for Blake Barbera without using parentheses, the results hit up to 38,000. If you search for “Blake Barbera” – with parentheses the search results will only pull up sites that have these key terms together (much less but more focused).
