How do I set a Google Alert for a string of words?

Asked by Daethian (334points) January 20th, 2009

I can set alerts but it searches for instances of the individual word and I only want instances where the words are an exact phrase match.

I believe you can use quotation marks to do this.

yeah, go to the Alerts page here and use quotes around the phrase you want to be alerted to.
