A word query is a query on a word or phrase. For example, to find all the rows in your text table that contain the word dog, enter a query specifying dog as your query term.
You can enter word queries with both CONTAINS and CATSEARCH SQL operators. However, phrase queries are interpreted differently.
If multiple words are contained in a query expression, separated only by blank spaces (no operators), the string of words is considered a phrase and Oracle Text searches for the entire string during a query.
For example, to find all documents that contain the phrase international law, enter your query with the phrase international law.
