If I search for a phrase (e.g. alarm permit), will the results only show exact matches?

No. By default, the search results will show matches for any word within the phrase. In this example, you would receive results for all web pages and documents that contained either the word alarm or the word permit or both.

In order to search on an exact phrase, enclose your search phrase in quotations. The search results for "alarm permit" will show matches for that exact phrase.

History

According to the state geologist, 10,000,000 years ago the SW slope of Disappointment Butte failed in a catastrophic landslide which gave the Butte its distinctive flat slope, and which makes it possible to dig a hole 20 feet deep at the base of the slope without hitting bedrock. The slide buried a conifer forest which included a deciduous redwood species (the Dawn Redwood) which was thought to be extinct until about 40 years ago when a remnant population was discovered growing in China.
