# Default Phrase Search

If you query Content with a phrase in quotation marks, by default it returns only documents in which a matching phrase occurs (a phrase in a document qualifies as a match if it stems the same way as the query phrase).

For example:

    action=Query&Text="fresh and lovely"

Content removes any stop words that the query contains (the example query above contains the stop word and) and applies stemming. It is as if the query were this:

    action=Query&Text="fresh love"

When it matches the query, Content returns only documents that contain a phrase that stems the same way as the phrase in the query string. The query `"fresh and lovely"` can return only documents that contain a phrase that stems to fresh love (for example, fresh love, freshest loving, fresh and lovely, freshly loved, and so on).
