 Using Windows Desktop Search, can I search for "string1 string2"
combined together in that order separated by a space? I can do this on
a search site if I put the words in quotes. How do I do this with
Desktop Search?

 Has anyone figured this out? I am having a similar problem. I use keywords
to tag documents and want to be able to find exact matches without returning
additional results.

For instance, if I add [myKeyword] to a searchable document, I want to
search for "[myKeyword]" so that I get only the list of results with the
keyword I specified.

Any advice?


Best Regards

Michael
