We've had to do this in the past, and found that the following works:

Group   Field  Heading                 Rel    Value
------------------------------------------------------------------
         1     name                    eq     Ace
         1     name                    le     Ace !

The above will bring back records where name='Ace', but not 'Acer', 'Ace Hardware', etc.
