## Difference between `keyword`, `key phrase` and `"key phrase"`
* `keyword` is an operator that consists of one word. It narrows the view to show all the messages that contain
that one word.
* `key phrase` is an operator that consists of multiple words. It narrows the view to show all the messages that
contain all of the words in that phrase, regardless of the order.
* `"key phrase"` is an operator that consists of multiple words surrounded by quotation marks ( `"` ). It narrows
the view to show all the messages that contain the key phrase in the exact same order.
### Example
If we had 3 messages, "Cheese", "I like cheese" and "Like cheese I", the operator `cheese` would show all of the
messages, the operator `I like cheese` would only show "I like cheese" and "Like cheese I" and the operator
`"I like cheese"` would only show the message "I like cheese".
