thank you. that worked
Using the same method. i wanted to find two different phrases in two differnt text files
in the same folder using advanced search and ticking "match whole words"
So I typed
"summer with monika"|"lthe snowman killing"
and indicated the folder to look in.
Once again, i've obviously done something wrong.
Can you help again, please?
it reads like this
wholeword:content:""quot:"summer with monika"quot:"|"quot:"lthe snowman killing"quot:""

I'm not quite sure what you have done there,
can you tell me how i would enter that into the advanced search box, please?
i tried it like this from the main window
"g:\not shared\lists from old soldier\" wholeword:content:quot:"summer with monika"quot: | wholeword:content:quot:"lthe snowman killing"quot:

Re: getting Everything to find two different phrases
I've used a | to split the search into two search terms, the | here means OR.
the search is now parsed as:
content search 1 OR content search 2
The advanced search window will only let you search for one phrase in file's contents.

This is too advanced for the advanced search.can you tell me how i would enter that into the advanced search box, please?

Did Everything find any results?"g:\not shared\lists from old soldier\" wholeword:content:quot:"summer with monika"quot: | wholeword:content:quot:"lthe snowman killing"quot:

Please try without the quot: macros
"g:\not shared\lists from old soldier\" wholeword:content:"summer with monika" | wholeword:content:"the snowman killing"
"g:\not shared\lists from old soldier\" wholeword:content:"summer with monika" | wholeword:content:"the snowman killing"
Re: getting Everything to find two different phrases
This is working on my end:
Note the angle bracket, <>.
Without them it would search ..\2P\X\ for "gunthrop", but the (but the what ? not sure ? the Everything ?) for "tyquan".
Likewise:
Also, "joy gunthrop" & "tyquan brail" need to be consecutive words with a space between, as written.
Code: Select all
"C:\USR\therube\P\2P\X\" < wholeword:content:"gunthrop" | wholeword:content:"tyquan" >
