Search for file name OR content simultaneously

Post by David.P »

Hello Community,

Is it possible to search for a file name OR for something else, for example file content, at the same time?

For example like this:
Foo OR (ext:docx content:Foo)
(this example does not seem to work).

Is this possible somehow?

Please try the following search:

Foo | <ext:docx content:Foo>

| = OR
< > = grouping



To use the literal OR operator:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Search tab on the left.
  • Check Allow literal operators.
  • Click OK.
Now you can search for:

Foo OR <ext:docx content:Foo>
