need help with smart list operator: exact word only
kmninbox says:
example i have to tasks:
1. contact shirley
2. reorganize all my contacts
I am trying to make a smart list for tasks where I have to contact people
right now if a do a search for the word "contact" it will show both tasks...
so... how do I do the search that will specify the word "contact" but not "contacts" or "contactination" or "contactifony" or any other word or jibberish that might contain "contact"... ONLY the EXACT word "contact"

I got the idea from another forum posting to use the tag "StayInTouch" and you could add addition tags to show purpose, for example "SIT-friends" "clients" etc... You can then build the smart lists based on your desired tag configurations. (Sorry I didn't find the earlier post.)

kmninbox,
Unfortunately our search is meant to be flexible, and thus you will likely run into problems excluding fuzzy words like this; sorry for the inconvenience.
You will probably want to set up your Smart List criteria like this: "contact" NOT "contacts", and add to it any other words that you wish to exclude, e.g. "contact" NOT ("contacts" OR "contact paper"), etc.
Hope this helps!
