Solved! How Can I Limit the Search Function??

Post by skeezix »

When I search on C: DOWNLOAD, my results show everything on my C drive that has "download" in its name. For example, I get stuff like "How to Download Videos", "DownloadServer", etc. when all I want to see is simply "download".

Another example is when I type c: f into the Search box I get everything that has an "f" in it. All I want to see are items with an "f" and nothing else in their names.

How can I do this?

Please try the following searches:

c: ww:download
-or-
c: exact:download



c: ww:f
-or-
c: exact:f

ww: (whole words)
exact: (whole filename)
