Refine your search - exact phrases
• Looking for something very specific?– keywords: limerick events guide – shows all pages that mention the words limerick,
events and guide– does not necessarily search for the whole phrase
“limerick events guide”
• You can search for exact phrases using “ ” around your search words
• Examples:– “limerick events guide”– “limerick college of further education”– “king johns castle”– “cinema times”– “adult education”
