Search Companion - how to do a Nested Search

[Guest]

How do I do a nested search using the Search Companion

For example, I want to find all files containing 2 separate words
But they are not a phrase.

So I want to first search MyDocs on the first word
and then search the Search Results for the 2nd word

Does anyone know how to do this?

Or achieve the same results another way that is efficient?

Right now i do a search on the first word
and then manually enter each file in the search results
and do a FIND on the 2nd word.

There just has to be a better way!

thanks in advance,

Have you considered something like this:

MSN Search Toolbar:

Now that *should* do what you're looking for??? It's a bit bulky and the
initial indexing is NOT instant even on speedy PCs if you have a lot of
content to index. Other than that it's fairly stable and fairly light on
resources. I've not found a decent GUI GREP for Windows. In fact I've long
since given up hope for such a utility.

*chuckles* It's not too bad other than the indexing... Anyhow, there you go
and glad it worked for you.
