No, I'm still a geek and usually keep my machine up to date, which now is already at 10.4.7 :-)
You might have seen my later response, that using "search pattern" works - what I found out meanwhile is that this works almost with identical results to using "exact phrase". I think the main reason that I didn't even try those 2 options in the beginning is the fact that "23.95" appears to me to be "one word" to begin with and I didn't even get the idea of treating it as 2. I should have thought so though after ending up with the high search result. ---marlyse ------------ former message(s) quotes: ------------- >Marlyse Comte said it like this: >> I have another feature >>request: that the search window would treat "23.95" as exactly that and >>not "23-AND-95" - because when I search for a specific bill it comes up >>with way too many results just because it does not see the period as >>part of it all. > >Hear 'ye hear 'ye... >This is something of a size vs exactness problem of the search index. >I'm all for a bigger index myself as HD's are as big as they are >nowadays.
