Am I overlooking something or is there a hole in the search function (CTRL+F)? I see no way to search for a precise multi word string. E.g., I want to find files that have the precise string "hello world" in them. Unfortunately, XYPlorer returns results for files such as:
hello from the world.txt
world hello.txt
world away but hello.pdf
That is not what I am trying to search for. I want only files that have the precise word "hello" followed by a space followed by "world". Unless I am missing something, what I am looking to accomplish cannot be done.

Re: Exact string search
It acts like this because you have
Configuration | Find and Filter | Find Files & Branch View | Find Files | [x] Enable smart Boolean query parsing
ticked...
