Using AND filter searching inside files with CONTENT:

[PeterPan8]

I'm using the latest Beta version 1.5.0.1383a (x64) on Windows 10.

How can I use the "and" filter to search inside Word files (*doc or *docx)?
I've tried this to no avail:
content:"maison"|"house"

The | symbol is supposed to represent the "and" filter (from what I read somewhere on the Board.)

I'm looking for all files containing both "maison" AND "house" in the same file. And I'm not looking for similar words, like maisonnette or household.

Thanks for any tips!

[void]

space = AND

< > = Grouping

ext:doc;docx content:<maison house>

-or-

ext:doc;docx content:maison content:house

I suggest the following:

Code: Select all

ext:doc;docx ww:content:<maison house>

ww:, whole-word:, whole-words:

Thanks! So If I understand correctly, that search statement:
ext:doc;docx content:maison content:house

means to find all files with the extension doc and docx which contains the word maison or which contains the word house.

The and filter is simply to group the terms in brackets <maison house>.

Is that correct?

And what does ww:content statement means?

Thanks! So If I understand correctly, that search statement:
ext:doc;docx content:maison content:house

... which contains the word maison or which contains the word house.
Is that correct?

No, this means operator AND due to the space character.

The and filter is simply to group the terms in brackets <maison house>.

As mentioned above by void, both variants are possible (and bring up the same search result):
content:<maison house> ... OR ...
content:maison content:house
The first variant looks more professional to me and is easier to record.

And what does ww:content statement means?

Please see the picture below.
Without the ww: parameter, I also received files containing "maisonnette" or "household" in my tests.
