: Google returns more results when searching for 2 keywords than when searching for one keyword I encountered something strange and I'm wondering if anyone has an explanation. I search for: keyword

@Sarah324

This is expected behaviour. When you add more keywords to your search you add more possibilities of pages within your site to match any of those keywords. Search engines work on the assumption of an or search criteria meaning "show any pages that matches "another" or "keyword". Words that match both are just considered more relevant than those that do not. To make this search and and search you either have to use the + operator before each keyword or wrap the search terms in quotes (meaning exactly this phrase).
