I would like the ability to search with multiple words in Downloads & Linkgrabber tabs.

So lets says there's a file that says walking.dead.s01e01.

Currently if I wanted to find it I'll have to type one of the words or numbers in the exact order:

Example:
"walking"
"dead"
"s01e01"
"walking.dead"
"dead.s01e01"
"walking.dead.s01e01"


I would like to search without needing it to be exact.

Example
"walking dead"
"walking s01e01"
"dead s01e01"

I believe it used to be like this. I couldn't find any settings in advanced setting for this.

Thanks,
Juggalo

Using wildcards:

walking*dead
walking*s01e01
dead*s01e01

Addditionally, it is also possible to combine search terms:

walking*dead|talking*dead
walking*s01e01|talking*s01e01

Regular expressions can also be used in the search field by enabling the following setting:

Settings > Advanced Settings > GeneralSettings.filterregex

Cool! It looks like combing search terms works.

But wild cards & regular expressions don't work as they should. I can still only search with 1 word max.

I did enable
Settings > Advanced Settings > GeneralSettings.filterregex

The list is filtered correctly with the wildcard examples from Post #2. The following regex also filters the list as expected:

walking.*dead
walking.*s01e01
dead.*s01e01

Can you provide an example where either or both of them fail?

[Juggalo]

Ah okay, putting in the periods is what I was missing.

So this gets me what I want:
walking.*s01e01

But searching this doesn't work for me:
walking*s01e01

Even if there are spaces (not periods) in between the words I still have to put a period at the end of the first word.

That works fine for me.

The '*' character will work as a wild card in the search field, only when regex is disabled in advanced settings. It is a quantifier in regex, not a wildcard.

'.' is the wildcard character in regex. It will match any character once. To match zero or more characters, you have to use '.*'.

Awesome thanks!

And you can add 'Multiline' without having to combine names in regex? It will be just faster as I want to add thousands of names.

Use text editor to create the search term. Enter one name per line in a text file, and then find '\r\n" and replace it with "\|". Paste the result in JD.

Not working

EmEditor message:

Cannot find \r\n anywhere in document.

Then the newline combination \r\n is not used or you use the search method wrong
