How do I search for a whole word ?

I am looking for a persons name in 26,000 emails. I only remember her first name - "Rose" So, I search for :

"rose " (with a space after - BUT no quotes) and instead of giving me words that END in rose (with a space following it) It instead ignores the space and includes unwanted results like "Proservice" where rose is in the middle of the word. thousands of ressults
Wrapping it in quotes then gets ZERO results. it appears to search for the quotes, but ignores the space
searching for "rose." (with a period after - BUT no quotes) assuming it may be part of her email address, the period is ignored and I get the same results as the space search.

so... HOW Do I do a search for a word and exclude results where the search word is contained in the middle of something else ?

Does the search work better in any newer versions / builds ?

There needs to be some "simple search options" or better recognition of quotes being used to wrap something with a trailing space (or even regular expression option).

Even if you just stopped stripping "leading or trailing spaces" from search - I mean that's a basic one. Or how about having an option of what field we're searching - header, body, etc.
