Searching for quoted text
Not having a Mac handy at the moment, my first guess would be to escape the quotes, as in \"Foo Bar\".
Searching for quoted text
It works as advertised. I did a Spotlight search with <cmd><space>. When I enclosed the search filed in double quotes (""), it did a filename search. Otherwise it did a content search. I did not have to use a backslash before the double quote characters (although, I suppose that would be necessary for a command line search).

You misunderstand the question. Escaping the quotes was a possible solution for searching for a word that itself contains quotes. Say you have a lot of stories among your documents, and you want to search for someone saying hello, you might search for "hello" _including the quotes_. If using quotes turns it into a filename-only search, then that wouldn't work. To be able to do that you need a way of telling Spotlight that these quotes are not an instruction to do anything special. The standard Unix way of doing that is to precede them with slashes as Bryce suggested, but it's not clear if this works in Spotlight.

Sorry, I don't have any success with this. Maybe it's just a bug.

For me, escaping
works, but it doesn't return results until the end quote and matches against the first word only.
Example, searching for the word foo in "foo bar test" seems to only match for foo and not bar test also using just doesn't match for the end.
