 *indented results (O) indicate Google has found more than one result from the same website; the most relevant page is listed first Google Basic Search Google assumes as its default that multiple search terms are joined by the AND operator, so that a search on the keywords [windows explorer] will find all the webpages that contain both search terms. Furthermore, Google will first try to find all the webpages that contain the phrase ["windows explorer"]. Google will search: Google will not return any results if there is no webpage containing all the search terms. Try this query to see what I mean:
 * a more results from (P) link if there are more than two results from the same site
 * first, for phrases (keywords as one long phrase)
 * second, for webpages containing all the keywords with the greatest adjacency (closest together),
 * third, for webpages containing all the keywords, regardless of where they appear on the webpage

There is an exception to this rule. Google often returns results when a keyword is not actually on a webpage but is in a link to a website, usually as text in a link anchor. 50
