    Question on search refining


    Hi there,

    I was wondering if there was a way to make it so windows 7 search will do this: If I search for "hmm" and there is a file named "34325hmm" it will register it as a result. Thank you.

Search Box Question
in General Discussion

Hello, When using the Search Box in the Start Menu, it works just great-but at times too great. Pulls up everything with the search word "anywhere" in the file or document. XP had an "exact phrase" option in its Search. Is there anything similar in W7 ? Thanks, Bob
