Search Box Question

[Robert11]

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

The feature that you mention as a problem is sold as an improvement. Just type a few words and find any program, document, file etc that you are looking for.
But if you are not happy, you can follow the advice of the above poster.
