The Exchange store Structured Query Language (SQL) uses the concept of token values for search conditions in the SQL WHERE Clause. Tokens must be delimited by single quotation marks. A token can contain only alphabetic characters unless they are surrounded by double quotation marks. In the following WHERE Clause, "this" and "that" are tokens:

WHERE CONTAINS (' "this" AND "that" ')

This clause does not work:

WHERE CONTAINS ('10 dollars')

To fix the clause, surround the token with double quotation marks within the single quotation marks:

WHERE CONTAINS ('"10 dollars"')
