Google Search Operators - Source: https://ahrefs.com/blog/google-advanced-search-operators/

“search term” Force an exact‐match search. Use this to refine results for ambiguous searches, or to exclude synonyms when searching for single words.

Example: “steve jobs”

OR Search for X or Y. This will return results related to X or Y, or both. Note: The pipe (|) operator can also be used in place of “OR.”

Examples: jobs OR gates / jobs | gates
