How do get a search for "ask" to not include "basket"
dannydeberry says:
I have a smart list that searches for "ask, talk, call, email, write" so that I can have a list of people to contact in one place. Unfortunately, "buy laundry basket" has creeped into the list because the search string found bASKet. How can I search for only "ask" and not words that have "ask" in them?

Perhaps search for "ask," -- with the comma?
sejjiin says:
Try (NOT (NAME:basket)) and (NAME:ask)
david.peacock says:
The search has to be unique; using the example above, try including the trailing space, e.g "ask "?

david.peacock, in the above example that he says he wants to search for, there is no trailing space -- just a trailing comma.

wcitypoe; I guess I am assuming the task dannydeberry may be taking the form "ask fred for this".
Constructing the search "ask " would filter out "basket".
