I need users in our organisation to search in XP Pro SP2 for the presence of a number of filenames (23 to be exact) on their hard drives. I was told that simply separating the filenames with a semicolon (;) in XP’s Search Companion would work (e.g. check sheet.doc; pt.doc) but I get thousands of hits which are not related in any way, shape or form to the search terms I’m using.
This HAS to be in XP Pro (SP2) with no add-ons or gizmos. I’ve also tried using the “” character to enclose filenames with spaces, all to no avail.
Some of the filenames I’m looking for have one or more of these characters in them ()-._&
Any ideas out there?
