If you have several dozen word files which contain the same content (such as Header, footer, some special words or number), and you need to replace the same content across those documents in Word. I know I will receive (if anything) some convoluted nonsense about re-indexing,Īnd/or logical patterns and such, and Lord-knows-what else, but that will fall far short of explaining why dumb old DOS can easily, and instantly, produce correct results for the simplest of queries, that Windows 10 is unable to even begin to produce.How to search and replace across multiple files in word? I am certain that if and when I receive a reply to this from a certified MS guru, I will be bemused because there is absolutely no logical, or reasonable explanation for it. If I open a DOS box and type "dir EDI-GPC.*/od" at the prompt, I will instantly get a complete listing of all 257 files in reverse chronological order. Why in the world is it reasonable for that to happen?
One file that meets the criteria shows up, plus five files that have a random mix of bits and pieces of the criteria. When I enter EDI-GPC.* (with or without quotes), the result is the same. For instance, I have a folder that contains 257 files of the name-form "EDI-GPC.*". Search facilities for Microsoft products have always been a joke. Ninety-nine per cent of politicians give the rest a bad name! kind:video, kind:music or kind:pictures will find all the videos, music or pictures. x represents the partial filename you want to search for.Ĥ. filename:x will display files using a partial filename. type:=.pdf or type:=.doc will display specific file types.ģ.

A minimum file size, simply type ‘size:>30,000KB’ (not the quotes) into the Search box and press Enter. Find partial matches.Īlternatively, type the search criteria into the box in the top right of the screen and press Enter.ġ. In File Explorer Options > Search Tab, the search options can be changed, e.g. Open File Explorer and click in the Search box, Search Tools will appear at the top of the Window which allows the choosing of a Type, a Size, Date Modified, Other Properties and Advanced search.
