Kelvin,

All - Only returns results containing ALL words listed. Not in any exact order.

exact - Returns only results that contain the EXACT phrase.

any - will return results than contain any SINGLE word of the search results. For the phrase "african american printers" in "any" mode will return links that contain only "african", for examplle.


Any - Returns the most results, but less relevance.

Exact - Returns the least results, but most relevance.

All - A compromise of the two above.


Which you chose is up to you...Having multiple databases also allows that some can be used in "any" mode, while others are used in "exact" to fit your individual needs.
