Specific searches within Outlook - help with a query needed

[m_pratt]

I want to search for a specific term in Outlook 2002 (Q1a= 2). However,
when I run the search I find everything within the folder and not just
the string "Q1a= 2".

I'm assuming the problem is in the way the search is being carried out.
Every email in the folder will have the string "Q1a=" in it, and every
email will probably have a "2" in it somewhere, so I'm assuming it's
searching for both a the same time, not one string.

I have tried searching using speech marks " " which I thought would
give me results where the ONLY matches were "Q1a= 2", but it tells me
it hasn't found anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Martin
