Unless I've missed something, there doesn't seem to be a way to find files, using the "Contents" option, when what I'm looking for is a string for two words separated by a space, with both words appearing repeatedly on their own in the same file. It just seems to "OR" them, and adding quotes around them results in no hits at all.
If this is indeed the case, and please correct me if I'm wrong, can you add an option so that searching for "word1 word2", with the quotes will actually only find the files that contain these two words next to each pther.

Re: Find files on contents - muti-word strings
I'm just searching plain text files, mostly pure ASCII and some UTF-8. Single words is not a problem, and as I wrote, XY seems to just "OR" multiple words.

Use an asterisk or question mark eg word1*word2 or word1?word2 and change mode to Wildcards.
Re: Find files on contents - muti-word strings
Never realised that that option was possible, will try, but ould still prefer a quoted string.
