Hi

I would like to find which files in the current and sub- folders all
contain all of several strings. Like - find the files containing both
"this", "that" and "theother". The search tool seems to allow me to
look for all files containing "this", "that" *or* "theother", but not
"this", "that" *and* "theother". It seems to be just another of those
M$ teases when I begin by just searching for "this" and it asks me if I
found what I was looking for and, if not, if I'd like to *refine* my
search. What this seems to mean, unfortunately, is would I like to look
for something else, disregarding the files it found previously. If I
then look for "that" it starts afresh - ignoring the results of the
previous search for "this". I tried using the "Save search" under the
"File" tab - but I couldn't figure out what good this did. Is there any
way to use the list I've saved? For anything? I must be missing
something. Help was no help at all - as usual.

Mike.
