How can I search for multiple words (not a phrase, but different words) all at once?

Hello everyone,
I have a job that includes looking for many different words in large paragraphs. I would make things much faster for me if - instead of typing in "word 1", and then clearing it, and then typing in "word 2" - but rather, I could somehow search for a few words at once. Is there a way to do this? An add-on? Something built in?
Thanks for the help.

  • How can i search for multiple file names (images) in bridge?

    Hello everyone!
    Does anyone know how to search for multiple file names in bridge?
    That is to copy & paste something like this: _MG_2152, _MG_2177, _MG_2194, _MG_2195, _MG_2202, _MG_2212, _MG_2219, _MG_2261, _MG_2362, _MG_2401
    Not using several criterias in the search box that is. That takes too long.

  • How Can I Search for Media files by Length?

    I want know how can I search for media files (mov, mp4, flv and movie files in general) by their length?
    If this search function is confirmed as definitely not possible on the OS, I would appreciate someone recommending app that might be able to perform such a search?
    Many thanks

    No possible way. Because the files may be enoded with differing codecs, compression, etc., you can only sort by file size, not the 'length' of the movie files.

  • How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto libraries?

    How can I search for duplicate photos in iPhoto 9.5.1 library.  Installed on iMac 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, Mavericks 10.9.5.

    These applications will identify and help remove duplicate photos from an iPhoto Library:
    iPhoto Library Manager - $29.95
    Duplicate Annihilator - $7.95 - only app able to detect duplicate thumbnail files or faces files when an iPhoto 8 or earlier library has been imported into another.
    PhotoSweeper - $9.95 - This app can search by comparing the image's bitmaps or histograms thus finding duplicates with different file names and dates.
    DeCloner - $19.95 - can find duplicates in iPhoto Libraries or in folders on the HD.
    DupliFinder - $7 - shows which events the photos are in.
    iPhoto AppleScript to Remove Duplicates - Free
    PhotoDedupo - $4.99 (App Store) -  this app has a "similar" search feature which is like PhotoSweeper's bitmap comparison.  It found all duplicates
    Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto - free - was able to recognize the duplicated HDR and normal files from an iPhone shooting in HDR
    Some users have reported that PhotoSweeper did the best in finding all of the dups in their library: iphoto has duplicated many photos, how...: Apple Support Communities.
    If you have an iPhone and have it set to keep the normal photo when shooting HDR photos the two image files that are created will be duplicates in a manner of speaking (same image) but there are only twp apps that detected the iPhone HDR and normal photos as being duplicates:  PhotoSweeper and Duplicate Cleaner for iPhoto.  None of the other apps detected those two files as being duplicates as they look for file name as well as other attributes and the two files from the iPhone have different file names.
    iPLM, however, is the best all around iPhoto utility as it can do so much more than just find duplicates.  IMO it's a must have tool if using iPhoto.

  • How can one search for a filename anywhere on the Mac?

    How can one search for a filename anywhere or everywhere on the Mac?

    You can configure Spotlight so it will also search in system files or you can download and use EasyFind 4.9.3 that doesn't require special configuration.
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.

  • Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture?

    Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture?  For example, search for 'Image2.jpg, Image3.jpg, Image5.jpg' by image name, out of different folders? 

    dusan -- your best procedure is likely to be to type the first file name (without extension) in the search field of the Photos View, and then mark that file either with a Flag or a color label.  (You might clear all Flags prior.)  If you have a lot of images or a slow computer (or both ) you may have to wait a few seconds.  Aperture will show "Loading ... " on the left side of the tool strip while it churns through your images.
    Then hit backspace twice, and type "60".  Mark the file found.
    Repeat with variations.
    Then go to Flagged view, or filter the whole Photos view for the color-label you used.

  • How do I search for and select a repeating phrase in a file.

    How do I search for and select a repeating phrase in a file read via Applescript. The file contains details of phone calls submitted to a charity and I want to be able to analyse the types of call taken. The phrase is 'Type of enquiry' and I want to extract the description that follows. I am a beginner at Applescript and have been working my way through Applescript 1-2-3 but cannot find an obvious solution although I have manged to open and read the file! All suggestions gratefully received.

    In applescript you can use something like the following:
    set {oldTID, my text item delimiters} to {my text item delimiters, "Type of enquiry"}
    set dataBits to text items of textToParse
    set my text item delimiters to oldTID
    the variable dataBits, then, will be a list where every list item is a string that starts with the text following that phrase. 
    You could do regular expressions searches as well, but you'd need to download and install the Satimage osax.

  • How can i search for a color that is not in the color palette? (CS 5.5)

    I have a client, that has used a certain color in a series of textfields throughout the document.
    The color consists of all 4 CMYK colors and needs to be just Keycolor. However the color is not in the swatches menu, so marking it there and changing it won't work. I have downloaded a script that might have worked, but it could only find colors that were in the swatches palette. (Find / Change by Color / Overprint" version 1.2).
    Ofcourse, creating a similar color and adding it to the swatches doesn't work.
    Is there anyway that i can search for the color or does it really have to be done manually.
    Best regards

    You can only search for real, actually existing swatches. No sweat: use "Add Unnamed Colors" in the Swatch panel dropdown menu to get a list of all of the manually applied colors.
    Since you want to change all of them to the same color, you don't even have to use Search/Replace. Simply delete the new colors and select the one you need in the "Replace With" dialog that appears.

  • How can I search for email senders and/or email subject(s)?

    I'm probably not savvy enough to figure this out. When I search, e.g. for "Katie" I get to look at several messages where she is cc'd. I also receive messages from "Katie." How do I search for them? I know they are there because I just sent one to trash the other day. I suspect there are a number of them in trash. The only way I seem to be able to access them is to scroll...and that's a bummer.

  • How can I "search" for Library Items?

    I am developing a site in flash and have over 800 Library Items. My problem is, I need to edit a portion of a Library Item and cannot find the Library Item, and NO, I did not delete the Library Item because when I go to preview or test the flash document, the Library Item is there in the movie. Is there any way to search for the Library Item? I am using Flash Professional 8..
    Thank you.

    I'm not sure how you would search for it if you don't know how to identify it.  You should be able to doubleclick on the object on the stage to open it up for editing.  When you do that, the stage area will display the library name of the object at the top of the stage border in a tab.  Things are ordered alphabetically in the library, so if you know the library name of the object you should be able to narrow down where it is.

  • How can I search for files in System and Library folders

    This arrose when I tried to find Archive Utility.app. Neither a Finder search or Spotlight found it, apparently because it is in Hard Drive/System/Library/CoreServices and the System folder is not searched. I've had similar problems when trying to find things in Library. How can I search these folders?

    You can enable the Finder to include System files in its search
    In a Finder finder window select Kind then Other… locate System files in the list and click the checkbox.

  • How do I exclude directories from Finder search results? I'm trying to find the biggest FILES on my computer and it keeps showing me "Macintosh HD" as the biggest, how can I search for files of type "NOT folder/directory"?

    Basically I've lost 10GB of free space over the last few weeks so my plan was to search for files modified in the last 2 weeks in order to figure out which ones are big and where that space went.
    So I open finder, go to "File > Find", and enter a search:
    Modified > In the last 2 weeks
    All fine so far.
    Problem is, it's showing whole directories as results. Which essentially means that when I order the list by size, Macintosh HD is at the top, followed by "Users", then "Applications", then one of my bigger movie files, then "Library", etc.
    How can I do a search which will ignore folders? I want individual files. Knowing that Macintosh HD is the biggest item on my computer and was modified in the last 2 weeks is utterly useless to me.
    Older versions of Finder in OS 9 had a feature where you could search for "files, whose type "IS NOT" folder", but OS X doesn't seem to have such a feature.
    Can anyone help?

    How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
    OmniDiskSweeper is likely the easiest/best, and is now free...
