Search for multiple words in a field?
is there a way to search for multiple words in a field? for example, if i have a metadata field called NOTES that contains the string "Joe and Bob created this version on Sunday" is there a way to search for "Sunday, Joe, Bob" and have it return the asset?
Search using the "Matches Word" option instead of "Contains". That will limit your results to only assets that have a field value that includes all three of those terms. If they are not all included in the same field value, it will not return a hit. So if "Sunday" were in Keywords and "Joe" & "Bob" are in Notes, you would not get a hit for that search with "Matches Word".
"Contains" searches for the contiguous string in any field on the assets.
Further, if you add your Notes field to the Metadata Group "Asset Filter", it will appear in your advanced search options, asset subscription filters, and search expired responses. Then you can specifically limit the search to that field and choose from "Matches Word', "Contains", and several other search filters. Note that when you use "Matches Word" this way, you need to eliminate spaces from your comma delimited list of words or you will not get the search hits you want.

Wanted to ask if you knew of a script I could use or any other way to search a document for any words or phrases that appear in a specific list and highlight the word or phrase if it appears in the Pages doc. I'm using Word 2008 on a Mac. For instance, my list could contain the words 'solicitor' or 'lawyer' but also the phrase 'employment unfair dismissal'. My list has about 100 words and phrases that I need to search for in each Pages document. Ideally the script or other method would highlight in the Pages doc any of the words or phrases I am searching for. Thanks, Dave.
Hi,
No. My list looks like this:

Plus maybe another 60 words or phrases. What I want to do is take the above list and check these words or phrases for how many times they appear in a Pages document. I can see how you can use the search feature in Pages for single words, but you can't put multiple words or phrases into the search field.
Cheers,

Package search for multiple word string?
Ok, im feeling really dumb, but how do I search for packages using multiple words in a single string? For example if I do the command "pacman -Ss session manager" it will return a huge list of all packages with the word session and all packages with the word manager, but what i really want to see is the smaller list of only the packages that contain the entire exact string session manager.
For me yaourt does the trick if you use ezzetabi's example ('session.*manager'). However, for 'session manager' only it doesn't.
You could try packer (in AUR). I just tried all three of them and packer seems to also look for the two words together only if you use '... ...' only. -
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.Try this add-on [https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/find-all/ Find All]

How do I use domain guessing for single word but search for multiple?
I would like to configure the search bar to make smart decisions about weather it should fill in an address or search for results. At the very least I would like it to be able to search when multiple words are entered but fill in the address when it's only one word (eg: typing "zelda" would take me to www.zelda.com but "the legend of zelda" would use search)
The answer that you are probably looking for is what Google calls the '''I'm Feeling Lucky''' Search. Not quite what you describe but if there is one result that stands out as the most common result, you will get taken directly to the page. (Wouldn't work for me, I seldom find what I looking for in the first five hits.)
This will involve a change to your '''about:config''' configuration variables.
'''keyword.URL ''' default string
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
The '''&gfns=1''' is what gets you the I'm Feeling lucky search.

<hr>Personally I prevent all (external) searching from the location bar to prevent errors from being redirected to a substitute page (along with additional filtering via the '''Adblock Plus''' extension).
For '''zelda''', I would type in the word and then use '''Ctrl+Enter''' so that it becomes www.zelda.com (with "Ctrl+Shift+Enter" gets .org, and with "Shift+Enter" gets .net).

* Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)<br>http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/firefox/keyboard.htm
The '''AwesomeBar''' search is what you get in the location bar drop-down when you enter strings of characters that exist in the Title and/or url address of a previously visited site or one that you have in your bookmarks. You see those choices '''before''' you press "Enter".
Once you press "Enter" by default you would do a search with your currently selected (default) search engine, as if you had entered the search into the search bar.
I don't like the last method and would use a ''keyword shortcut'' to use a customized search or to go directly to a web page. But without knowledge of what is available using the Location bar to run an external search works okay for most people.

The "weather" threw me because for weather you really do want a keyword shortcut, the word you meant was whether.

How do I search for a word through multiple files in my directories ??
Hello everyone
How do I search for a word through multiple files in my directories ??
I am guessing one tedious way to do it would be to pass all the file names as command line arguments but I"m sure there exist a much easier and faster way to do it.
Thanks a lotYou need to pass only the directory name as parameter and then retrieve the files(recursively throug subdirs or not, however you wish) of that directory.
There were at least 2 threads yesterday on how to retrieve files from directory, and there are many others in the archive so I leave the search part to you ;)

How to search for a word in a text editor
Hi,
I have created a custom container and added some text to it. Is there any method to search for words in this?Lilan,
To search a character field for a particular pattern, use the SEARCH statement as follows:
SEARCH <c> FOR <str> <options>.
The statement searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. If successful, the return code value of SY-SUBRC is set to 0 and SY-FDPOS is set to the offset of the string in the field <c>. Otherwise, SY-SUBRC is set to 4.
The search string <str> can have one of the following forms.
<str>
Function
<pattern>
Searches for <pattern> (any sequence of characters). Trailing blanks are ignored.
.<pattern>.
Searches for <pattern>. Trailing blanks are not ignored.
*<pattern>
A word ending with <pattern> is sought.
<pattern>*
Searches for a word starting with <pattern>.
Words are separated by blanks, commas, periods, semicolons, colons, question marks, exclamation marks, parentheses, slashes, plus signs, and equal signs.
<option> in the SEARCH FOR statement can be any of the following:
ABBREVIATED
Searches the field <c> for a word containing the string in <str>. The characters can be separated by other characters. The first letter of the word and the string <str> must be the same.
STARTING AT <n1>
Searches the field <c> for <str> starting at position <n1>. The result SY-FDPOS refers to the offset relative to <n1> and not to the start of the field.
ENDING AT <n2>
Searches the field <c> for <str> up to position <n2>.
AND MARK
If the search string is found, all the characters in the search string (and all the characters in between when using ABBREVIATED) are converted to upper case.
Pls. Mark -
BUG: Searching for the word "united" in Contacts returns far too many results
To recreate this bug:
1. I open the Contacts App on my iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1.
2. In the search field within the app, I search for the word "united." (For example, if I am trying to located the address book card for United Airlines).
3. Instead of showing me just the results of companies/people that have the word "united" in their name or notes field, the app returns almost every single one of my contacts as a search result, EVEN THOUGH THESE PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "UNITED" IN THEIR NAME, DESCRIPTION, OR NOTES FIELD.
I think this might be happening because I have used the iOS feature of connecting my Contact App with Facebook. Because of this, many of my contacts have the word "unified contact info" in their description. Although this doesn't entirely explain why searching for the word "united" would show "unified contact info" contacts, the Facebook/Contacts App connection may have something to do with this bug.
Regardless, if I search for the word "united" on my iPhone, the Contact App still returns almost every single contact as a search result, even though the word "united" cannot be found within those contacts.I think it is because the system adds "United States of America" to every address by default.
You need to search using different parameters, for example, "Airlines". -
Searching for a word or phrase in a file on NSS Pool/Volume
I have encountered a strange issue in that if I search for a word or phrase in a file at any level of the volume, from the root, down to sub folders, I get different results from 2 or more PC's.
Workstations are all Win XP SP2, Novell Client 4.91 SP4 for Windows
Server NW 6.5 SP6 with all post SP's installed.
I have ran a nss /PoolRebuild=POOLNAME and a NSS /VisibilityRebuild=VOLNAME
There is only one volume on this pool.
And I still encounter the same results.
As one example:
On my Admin workstation When I search the top level Folder of Closed Client folders for the word chronology, I get 2 files returned named chronfile1 and chonfile2, when I search from any other workstation (I have tried 4 different workstations at this point) at the same folder level, for the same word Chronology, I get multiple files with the Word in the File, but I do not see files chronfile1 or chronfile2. Likewise, the file names returned form the search results on the other workstations, are not returned in the search list ran on the admin (Mine) workstation. And yes, I am logged in as admin on the other workstations when running the search.
So far, this issue is only appearing on 1 volume.
Thoughts?Originally Posted by ataubman
If you log in to the second PC as Admin, does the symptom move? IOW does it follow the user or the workstation? If the user you may have some odd file system rights set, although your specific results you report are puzzling.
I'm assuming you are using the Windows desktop search tool?
I ran a NSS /PoolRebuild last night which fixed an issue the workstations not being able to see the 2 files in question.
Previous night I had just performed an NSS /PoolVerify.
Part of the other anomoly, the other workstations seeing more files than the admin workstation (I feel so Stupid, after 25 years you think I'd be able to spot the obvious) the reason the other workstations were returning files that the Admin workstation was not - Admin workstation doesn't have Word Perfect installed.

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. -
Windows 8.1 PC, using reader, when searching a folder containing approx 100 doc's. If i search for a word, no results are returned. only the doc names can be found but nothing from within the doc.
This is a new problem and was not the case before.Works perfectly fine for me with the latest Reader version (11.0.09).
You write that it worked "before"; before what? An update? Update from what version to what version? -
Tell me Logic for search for duplicate words(or strings) in a large file.
Search for duplicate words (or strings) in a text file containing one word per line. For each word that occurs more than once in the flat file output should be as follows
<word> <number of occurrences> <line numbers in the file where the word occurs>
For example, if the word Hello occurs thrice in a file at lines 100, 178 and 3456 the output should read
Hello, 3, [100, 178, 3456]Incidentally i wrote similar code some days back. You need to do some modifications to get the exact output you want, but i hope it will be of some help.
One more thing its written using JAVA5
public class Test
private static final String COLLECTIONS_TEXT = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\amrainder\\Desktop\\Collections.txt";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
findDuplicateWords();
private static void findDuplicateWords() throws IOException
Collection<String> words = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
File file = new File(COLLECTIONS_TEXT);
StreamTokenizer streamTokenizer = new StreamTokenizer(new FileReader(file));
int token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
while(token != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
if(token == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD)
words.add(streamTokenizer.sval);
token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
System.out.println(words);

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...
Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

How to search for multiple values with Bex Prompts
Hi,
I would like to know if it is possible to search for multiple values at the same time with Bex Prompts instead of searching one value at a time (please see the screen shot below). I searched the forum couldn't find any relevant answers. please let me know how to achieve?
Thanks,
Charvi.Hi Charvi,
You can use wild card search to ensure you get multiple similar values listed as search output.use * for multiple characters and ? for single character.
For Example, Ravi * would result you all employees with first name as Ravi
You can use various search formats such as * Ravi * and * Ravi and Ra?? etc.
Thanks

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.
Thanks
