path-or-comment:

[jacbian]

Dear Void,

I have added the extended properties (using FileMetaAssociationManager) to .pdf file, and tried the filter " <search:> | tags:<search:> " mentioned in this page. Similarly I also tried "<search:> | comment:<search:>" as I found Comment is more convenient and flexible than Keywords (Tags).

So, let's take <search:> | comment:<search:> as the example for the following discussion.
With this filter, when we input: word1 word2 word3 ..., the returned results demonstrate that all these words must be all inside filepath or all inside comment, but I want that word* can be either in filepath or comment.
Basically, it is to make the comment behaves like a part of the file name.

How can we achieve such a filter? Could you add new macro like path-or-comment: and path-or-tags:?

Moved from Properties.

Please try creating a filter to search the filename or comments:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to:
  Filename or Comments
• Change the Search to:
  #replaceterms:#(:search:#):,#(:<#term:|comment:#term:>#):
• Change the Macro to:
  filename-or-comment<search>
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.

Works perfectly like a charm. Thank you so much!

It will be interesting to decode your grammar.
