Word Tracker 'Partial Match Searching'

Hi There - I was wondering does anyone have an opinion as to what is better with Word Tracker:

1) 'Partial Match Searching' where the quotes are off the search

or

2) 'Exact Match Searching'

Thanks, Beth

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish... If you are trying to figure out alternate phrases to target, your best bet is the partial match searching...

I guess what I am confused about is that people don't usually search with quotes so the competition with an exact match search seems off. Is this right?

I would think that to be totally dependent upon the keyword or phrase you're using. The more common the phrase the better the odds you're going to have an exact match, if you're talking something less frequently used however, then by all means partial match.
