how to search for content e.g. "account 1234" als exactly match, looking for both strings side by side? I do not want files only containing both words
putting it in as "account 1234" does not work
thanks!

Hazel uses the Spotlight index to do the content search. Unfortunately, I believe Spotlight only indexes words individually so a search for a phrase like that won't work.
To do what you want, I'd have to either have Hazel scan the text itself (very costly) or come up with my own indexing scheme (basically implement my own Spotlight) so I don't see it as a feature that will be happening any time soon.
