A needed clarification about "phrase" match

    The answer for this is never clear, so I'll use an example:
    If I use the keywords "used car" (in phrase match), will it match searches like "used ford car"? and another thing: will it match "used cars"?
    thanks.

    But let's put aside the first one.
    The question that google doestn't answer is about suffixes and prefixes in phrase match.
    If I ues the phrase "auto repair", will I get searches like "auto repairing" or "auto repairs"?
    thanks again.

    I don't think so.

    "auto repairing" "auto repairs"

    They will appear if "auto repair" is broad match keyword.

    they will match only in broad match for sure: Broad match also matches sinomims, similar and related keywords.

    in broad match:

    auto repair = auto repairing

    but in phrase not

    No your adds wont be showing for any of these if u use Phrase Match. Phrase match requires the exact keyword u gave with anything apended to the front or back of the keyword but not in the middle.
