When I use an NSMetadataQuery with the NSPredicate

files.
Not quite what I intended.
Actually I am looking for those documents which contain this
string exactly
as written (e.g. Shakespeare/Plays/Hamlet/3.1.rtf ).
I believe you want "contains", not "like".
Following your suggestion, I changed my predicateFormat to:
@"%@ contains kMDItemTextContent" which translates into:
<kMDItemTextContent IN "To be, or not to be"> and behaves more or
less exactly like LIKE.
So again: how to search kMDItemTextContent for a string containing
spaces? (10.4.11).
Kind regards,
Gerriet
