By double quotes, I meant "", as in "search string". I had the thought after I sent the email that maybe someone would read it and think I meant just use two quotes, one before the string and one after, as in 'search string'. I've used plenty of editors that use single quotes and my first inclination was to try it for the 7.1 type of search, but it didn't work. A week or two later, the idea came to me to try "7.1".
I like being able to search for a string with embedded spaces, because sometimes I try to locate a post in the group or in my email after reading it at mail-archive.com, and searching two or three words with embedded spaces will often narrow down the number of hits from hundreds to one. --- authfriend <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > --- In [email protected], gullible fool > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > > I mentioned before that there was a problem with > the > > new yahoo group search, in that I could not do a > > search on a string with an embedded decimal point, > > such as 7.1.
