How to search for a file containing 2 known words

[nemadeka]

I need to search for a text file which contains "summit" and "blue", but I cannot specify this in the "Find text" field, pressing F1 and reading got me nowhere, and I drowned in TC Wiki.
Sorry for asking such trivial questions.
Please, kindly hint.

You can by checking the option RegEx (2) and type summit|blue in the find text field.

ts4242,
Nah, that would be OR, not AND.

nemadeka,
If
- you know the order of the words (eg. "blue" comes always after "summit") and
- the words are always on the same line
you can use the regex summit.*blue

Otherwise I would suggest first searching for "summit", then Feed to listbox, select all files, and perform a search again for "blue".

Thanks for confirming and for the tips.

I remember the time when Altavista was the best known search engine.
I could use OR, AND and NEAR switches, very helpful.

Looks good, doesn't it?

You can try to install this plugin: http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/TextSearch.html
And then use Plugins tab of search dialog.

Thanks!
Exactly what I need.

I know this is a little old, but for anyone who is looking for another solution.
- Check the "Find text" box and enter (summit.*blue|blue.*summit)
- Check the "RegEx(2) box

This will find both cases.

TimA,
Not in the case when words are in different lines. Regex usually works with single line or very limited number of lines (not the case of TC). Hacker have mentioned this.

MVV - I guess I usually use the search feature in Dreamweaver which doesn't limit it to single lines...
