Search for files named with a space

[Mark Grace]

What's the trick to searching for files named with spaces
in the name? If I just type xxx yyy.zzz in the search
blank, I get too many results, for just xxx or just yyy
or .zzz, but what I want is the exact string with the
space. Can't find in HELP or FAQ but I'm pretty sure
there's a way.

Use a question mark in place of the space. You'll get all files
that fit that pattern (xxxayyy, xxxbyyy, xxxcyyy, etc.), not just
those with a space, but there probably won't be many extras.
