Limiting Search Criteria
Is there a way to confine a search to one word? For example, I have more than 20 editions of Bram Stoker's Dracula (make of that what you will), but searching Author: Bram Stoker and Title: Dracula also brings up Dracula's Guest, and any other book title that contains the word Dracula. Any ideas will be tried!

I tried several of the things mentioned in the section on searching - none of them worked. Your link does a fine job of taking me directly to the section on searching, but searching in the manual search box doesn't work nor does searching the page via Ctrl-F.
