10.5: How to refine Spotlight searches in 10.5
Authored by: Hal Itosis on Oct 24, '08 08:16:37AM
Okay... so I want to find "new Mac" in the contents of some files.
i.e., only those documents with those exact 7 chars in sequence:

$ echo -n 'new Mac' |od -cb
0000000    n   e   w       M   a   c                                    
          156 145 167 040 115 141 143

How is that done? [using Spotlight... not EasyFind. ;-) ]

-HI-
