Search mac that contains a specific series of words in order with spaces between them
Hi,
I found spotlight, the searchbox in the upper right corner of finder windows, the + sign to add parameters, file types, yadda yadda yadda, this all is covered in about ten million threads on the internet.
What is NOT covered is how to find a specific series of words in order with spaces between them. When a string like that is searched, the result is every document matching any of the words, which can be tens of thousands of documents on my computer. What I need is the ONE or few documents that contain the exact phrase, including spaces. My experience with GREP at the command line is limited, but I have not figured out how to grep, spotlight, mdfind, or anything else to return a match to strings containing spaces.
If you could kindly pass along through this thread how that is done, I would be much obliged.
For kicks, the string I am looking for is "If you want a thing bad enough to go out and fight for it, to work day and night for it, to give up your time, your peace and your sleep for it"
Thank you
Mac Pro, 10.14
