See the example below, seeking only documents with "contract" in the title.
It does find the few I want, sure, but WHY all these *others*?
How can I prevent this from continuing? Thank you.

Hi chuck50dc,
I understand that search in Mavericks is displaying more results than you would prefer. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article below to help narrow your Spotlight search results.

Joe, thank you. That *almost* got me there; it did help me realize that I needed to state my question more specifically, and then I found that the next response did address that particular element. I appreciate your taking the time to reply.
Eric, your link alerted me to the more precise question I needed to ask: How to force the search to include ONLY items that include (in this case) "contract" in the document NAME. This link clarified that "you can limit your search to file names by using the
keyword." That made it manageable enough. Thanks very much!name:
—never mind—got it. (It seemed to not accept the "Solved" click. Now done.)
You are welcome.
Why does Spotlight (10.9.5) give hundreds+ of irrelevant results?
