Hopefully someone here has an answer, even if it's rtfm (!)

I can live without the name based recording feature, but one thing that bugs me about searching with these receivers is the inability to do an exact search.

For example if i search for the program "House" the search will return every program with the word house in it. Like Flip this house, house of mouse, when houses attack, etc. Do these receivers have some way to do an exact match search, like one can do with google?

(answer based on my 501 experience) You can search for "house " (note the space) to eliminate "desparate housewives." You can limit the search to just the title field or allow it to include the description, but I don't believe there's an "exact match only" option.
