Not to be...
I asked this very question of Dominic Giampaolo at last years WWDC as
I was running into the same issues with exact phrase searches. I asked
if this was now possible in Leopard since I was getting results that
contained all the requested words, but not necessarily in their
correct order. He stated that in Leopard that it is possible to do
exact phrase searches as the Text Contents database had been changed
and now this was possible. Unfortunately this is not possible under
Tiger as I was told during the same question.

This one also works for me. Only it kind of works too well, finding
thousands of files.
Another example: <kMDItemTextContent LIKE "Briggel Braggel"> finds
".../Test.txt" which only contains the line: "Briggel and Braggel" .
But I really want only files which contain "Briggel Braggel" or
"the Briggel
Braggel of today".
Are you using Tiger?
Yes, I am.
Spotlight indexes on words in Tiger; phrase
indexing began in Leopard -- the phrase must be enclosed within
quotation marks, IIRC (i.e. @"%K LIKE \"[EMAIL PROTECTED]"")
string = <Briggel Braggel> (without the "<>")
predicateFormatContent = @"kMDItemTextContent like %@";
predicate = <kMDItemTextContent LIKE "Briggel Braggel">
finds "Briggel and Braggel". Bad
string = <"Briggel Braggel"> (Note: " part of string)
predicateFormatContent = @"kMDItemTextContent like %@";
predicate = <kMDItemTextContent LIKE "\"Briggel Braggel\"">
also finds "Briggel and Braggel". Bad
string = anything
predicateFormatContent = @"kMDItemTextContent like \"[EMAIL PROTECTED]""; or:
predicateFormatContent = @"kMDItemTextContent like \'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'";
or:
predicateFormatContent = @"kMDItemTextContent like '%@'";
predicate = <kMDItemTextContent LIKE "%@">
finds nothing. Also not good. (There are lots of files containing %@
though).
string = <'Briggel Braggel'> (Note: ' part of string)
predicateFormatContent = @"kMDItemTextContent like %@";
predicate = <kMDItemTextContent LIKE "'Briggel Braggel'">
finds nothing. Still bad.
Now I do not have any more ideas.
Anyone else? Finding a string containing blanks on Tiger?
Kind regards,
Gerriet.
