Searching for files using two or more strings

[Perplexer]

Hi.

I would like to be able to find files based on two or more supplied strings.
Using one string seems to be trivial and that works for me, but often I get frustrated because I would like to search using two strings to simplify my search.

For example, I want to find this file by using the strings "gan" and "tr" :
13-elettrogang_-_once_upon_a_time_(english_trip).mp3

What should I put in the "Search for" textfield ? I'm guessing Regex will be needed, but I have no clue about it. But then again, I just need a syntax that I can remember for 2 strings or more. Nothing fancy.

You can use something like

Code: Select all

*gan*tr*.*

to find the provided file name. However, the order of the search terms matter in this case, i.e. files with "tr" before "gan" won't be found.

It's easier to use the Search's Plugins tab:
[X] Search in plugins
Combine with [o] AND (all match)

Code: Select all

tc | name | contains | tr
tc | name | contains | gan

Note that all tabs of the Search dialog are included in the search, so make sure the search for all files (*).
