Using + Operator

---

The + operator is typically used in front of stop words that Google would otherwise ignore.

Example 1: [ +Two +on +a Tower ]

If you want to retrieve a novel Two on a Tower by Thomas Hardy, enter as +two +on +a tower otherwise Google ignores the first three words being stop words.

Note: Alternatively operator : can be used instead of + to include stopwords in the resulting web pages.

Note: Instead of using plus [+] operator before each stop word in the query, put ALL the terms including stop words within double quotes (eg. "Two on a Tower"). Querying this way will return similar results.
