10.4: Limit Spotlight searches to filenames only
Authored by: hypert on Jul 20, '05 02:18:34PM
Rob, you are thinking of this hint, where the quotes "trick" was mentioned in one of the comments.

This searches for more than just the filename, though, as I mentioned in that hint, too. Looks like the term I was using was in the Word Title property, though, so the quotes do seem to restrict the search to filename and keywords (including Word properties), and seem to ignore content.

Quotes do not limit to filenames only

I ran a search for "San Diego" via the Spotlight menu and one of the results was a file named "LEGOLAND California Directions.html"

Obviously, the phrase "San Diego" was in the content of this html file, which is why it showed up in the results.
