The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When you go into List Files (F5), press 9 (Find), 4 (Word Pattern), and type a search string in quotes, WordPerfect will not find the files containing only that string. The documentation leads one to believe that by using the search operators the search feature will find only those documents that contain a specific phrase. If one searches in a directory of files for the phrase "play with the dog " (there is a space after the word dog; this is a required search operator), the results will be all files that contain any of the four words whether part of the phrase or not. The feature is supposed to find only those files that contain the exact phrase. Solutions: Status:      Sent to Development
