Hi. Thanks for Everything. It's been a game-changer for my efficiency!
My most common search is word1 word2 which will show everything that matches both of those words anywhere in any order.
But I'd can't get the following to work:
word1 word2 | word3 word4
How could I do that?
Thanks.

Re: Search Syntax Help
you can use grouping:
Code: Select all
< word1 word2 > | < word3 word4 >
Re: Searching for word1 word2 | word3 word4 doesn't work
By default, Everything will break your search:
word1 word2 | word3 word4
into:
word1 AND (word2 OR word3) AND word4
Consider changing your search operator precedence:
word1 word2 | word3 word4
into:
(word1 AND word2) OR (word3 AND word4)
word1 word2 | word3 word4
into:
word1 AND (word2 OR word3) AND word4
Consider changing your search operator precedence:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Search tab on the left.
- Change Operator precedence to: AND > OR
- Click OK.
word1 word2 | word3 word4
into:
(word1 AND word2) OR (word3 AND word4)

Thanks you so much. Both of those suggestions work.
