    how to search "x - y" in a text files?


    I have tons of text files. and if I need to search the whole string like "x - y", it return files contains either x or y.
    I am not sure if issue is with dash or the space.

    how can i do precise search to get the file containing x - y ?

    "The previous system shutdown at X on Y was unexpected"

    Hi, suggest you start by checking your disk e.g.
    HD Tune v2.55 free
    Health and Error scan tabs

    - but many things can cause erratic failure.

    A search might suggest more, but no guarantees as to the quality of the results..

    Searching Within Files

    I have tried searching within files in Windows 10 for a string. However, through testing, it seems that when the string being searched for does not have a space in front, it ignores it. E.g. if the text in the file is 'The quick brown fox' and I search
    for 'quick', it will list the file. But if the search string is 'ick', then the file will not be listed despite the text obviously being there. Any suggestions?
