    Searching for specific words in documents


    I want to be able to find documents that have specific words in them. The result must be only those documents that have all of these specific words. When I run a search I get documents with all 3 words, or 2 words or just 1 of the words. I just want the documents that have all 3 of the words. Can this be done?

    Thanks,
    Mark

    File Locator Lite (free) can do that.
    FileLocator Lite - Download

    i.e.
    Search for files containing text: Word1 AND Word2 AND Word3
