[X4U] Re: Re: spotlight question - search for a phrase (Linda)

[stephen e. schwartz]

Thanks linda; but my mileage differs. When I paste the character 
string into the box in the upper right with quotes I get zero 
results; when I do it without quotes I get the same result as in 
command-F, namely, a list of all documents that contain all the words 
in the pasted string, not the document(s) that contain the character 
string.

still hoping there is a way.
