Multiple words return only results containing all the words. For example, world new brave returns results with all 3 words anywhere in it.
Quotation marks return results with an exact match. For example, “brave new world” returns only results with those 3 words in that exact sequence.
An asterisk at the end of a word returns results with a minimum of those letters. For example, brav* returns results containing brave, bravo, bravado, etc.
