Save Search Template by loading from a text file or clipboar

Hi! It could be very handy if we could save search template by loading a text file, where each line represents different search option. I have a large collection of .pdf files and I need to search it every day. And instead of saving a single template each time it would be very convenient if this is done at once by a text file or by pasting from the clipboard. Thus it would be possible to create some sort of a catalog similar to the native catalog of xyplorer where one can find files by topic. For example I need to find .pdf files on different medieval topics like Carolingians, Cathars, Clergy, Holy Roman Empire and so on, and to have a template with all these terms done at once by a text file would be great. There are lists and glossaries of terms or topics in many of these pdf books, so copying them from the pdf to the clipboard or txt or excel file and then saving them as searching template would be enormous relief.
And I think that loading some text from text files as a whole is great for many things linked to sorting, searching, renaming and so on. So it would be very helpful if someone give a thought on this. Also the templates are great for many things and I think they deserve consideration too.
Thanks.

Not sure, if i understand you completely right.

At least partially it is possible already: go to xyplorer's list management|Find Files: Name, press button [Editor mode], in edit window you can paste any semicolon separated word list, one line makes up a multi-item search task, and you can save any part of the list to clipboard to save it to a file as well as save configuration for reuse.
