File Search with Boolean Operators

Post by *mlewis3141 »

I'm trying to use the "Find Files" feature to search files with the boolean operator "AND". I have files with the text "Text1" and "Text2" in them. When I run a search with the following input: Text1 AND Text2, I get no results. If I search for Text1 and Text2 individually, I get results. What is the proper way to use the AND boolean operator?

One way would be to first search for "Text1", then enable the option "F2 Search in found file/folders" and search for "Text2".
Another way would be to use Plugins tab.
Another way would be to use a regular expression.
