Thread: how do you search for two names in one label using the search app?

hi,

how search label contains 2 different texts in 1 label?

want use search app ( think wrote gnome, i'm using xfce 12.04, works in xfce ), don't want use terminal grep, search app quicker.

other words, if want find label contains "a", can put "a" ( without quotes ) "name contains" field box, , works, likewise can put "b" field box , works, put field box search label contains both "a" , "b" ?

~also, how clear list of searched items?

i don't know answer question, can elaborate on terminal way of doing that:
think meant find not grep, grep used file contents, find file properties.

search app uses locate backend. locate searches in database refreshed daily , results instantaneous.

code:

locate 'phrase'

locate supports regexes

code:

locate -r 'a.*b'

additional -b if name matched (without path)
locate --help more info.
if files interested in not indexed yet (are newer last database update), can force update with

code:

sudo updatedb

, try again
