double quotes |
Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Wikipedia | 0.06 sec. |

The double quotes (") symbol is used to delineate a string of text as in the C statement printf ("Press Enter now.\n");. They are also used to delineate a phrase for searching. If you enter "absolute measurement" in a Web search engine, you are asking for an article that contains the two-word phrase, not one that has the two words individually anywhere within the text. See single quotes. |

| Added characters (hyphen, space) are enclosed in double quotes and elements are separated by commas. Generally, either single quotes (` ') or double quotes (" ") will work, but you must be consistent within the search. |
