10.4: Limit Spotlight searches to filenames only
This works oddly for me. Yesterday I created a text file with emacs called "WikiBookConf.txt". If search in spotlight for wiki (no quotes) it shows up and is the top pick. So it's been indexed. If I search for "Wiki" (with quotes) it does not appear. If I search for "WikiBook" (with quotes) it does not appear. If I search for "WikiBookConf" (with quotes) it does. I get the same results if I use all lowercase. Anyone have any ideas?
10.4: Limit Spotlight searches to filenames only
The best way I have found to do pure name searches is to use Find in the Finder, and pick Name in the popup. Then type "wiki", pick a 2nd Name popup and type "book". This will find: Wikibook, Wiki Book, wikibookie, etc. This is the same type of search Panther supported.
10.4: Limit Spotlight searches to filenames only
Well yes, explicitly limiting the search to names will do it. But if others get name only search from using quotes in spotlight why can't I? Do quotes only work in some cases? Do I have some setting incorrect? (I'm using 10.4.2). My best guess is that quotes aren't searching the filename but some metadata that's set by most programs but not aquamacs. How would I check that hypothesis? Note, I tried this on an excel file I created and had similar problems.

It's not matching substrings, only whole words. |
