Find Files Contents

Post by hermhart »

I work with part numbers for files. When using Find Files and the Contents tab to search through PDF files, if I put a part number (around 8 digits in length each) on its own separate line in the Contents pane to search through a long list of PDF's, is it looking to see if it matches all of the part numbers on each line before it returns a match or are each 'space' or 'crlf' considered a separator to search for, so then it would return a match for any of the lines in the Contents field? I'm just not sure if I need any kind of delimiter to tell it to search for each listed part number in the Contents field.

You need a boolean / regex search to do such a thing

Do you think there would be added value to add the functionality to allow a delimiter for the Contents field?
