Search individual word, not text string

I did a search in my Library for the composer name "Ades". I retrieved items containing "Casadesus", "Prades", "Adeste", etc. Is there a way of limiting such a search to only the word "Ades"? Thanks for your help. -- Giogio

No comment? I can't be the only one with this problem ...

I don't think there is, I'm afraid, at least not in quicksearch. Spaces (as in " Ades " can help, but they also miss things, in particular Ades at the end or beginning of a field.

Thanks. {quote} {space} word {space} {quote} seems to work okay. I'd tried the spaces and tried the quotes, but not together. Thanks.
