  For example: I need to find only the exact match the string <code>store</code> but not 
  <code>stored</code>, <code>storeday</code>, etc.</p>
  
  <p>The below command returns all strings, <code>store</code>, <code>stored</code> and <code>storeday</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>findstr /l /s /i /m /c:"store" "c:\test\*.txt"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Complete script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>set "manifest_folder=C:\Calc_scripts*.*"
  set "file_list=C:\Search_results\Search_Input.txt"
  set "outputfile=C:\Search_results\Search_results.txt"
  (for /f "usebackq delims=" %%a in ("%file_list%") do (
      set "found="
      for /f "delims=" %%b in ('findstr /r /s /i /m /c:"%%a" "%manifest_folder%"') do (
          echo %%a is found in %%~nxb
          set "found=1"
      )
      if not defined found (
          echo %%a is not found
      )
  ))&gt; "%outputFile%"
