Hi all,

I regularly use the Contents tab of Find Files to search for files of various sorts containing a particular string. Is there a way to search for multiple options using this tab. For example if I wanted to search for files containing Word X or Word Y? I've checked the manual and there doesn't seem to be anything documented, so I thought I would ask.

thanks

Paul

Sure, switch it to Mode: RegExp and use a... regex^^

E.g. for finding files that contain either "one" or "two" use: Ofc this would find files with the word: Lonely as well (because it contains "one")

To find only complete words, you could use this: or in a more readable format The | is a logical OR
\b is a word boundary
() restricts the alternation to the part inside of it

The drawback: You need to learn a minimum of how regex works...

Thanks that's great- very helpful!

possible to use switches in quick search while RegExp is enabled?

What has that question to do with content searching?

Apart of that it seems that a regex quicksearch ignores additional flags. Don't
know if this is a bug or intended...

What has that question to do with content searching?

It has to do with Find Files.Thanks

The whole topic is about content searching
and you probably need to file a bug report anyway...
