Search a folder of docs for amounts of a certain phrase
I'm trying to figure out exactly how many individual letters I created in a certain period. I have them all saved in a single folder, but each doc file has a different number of letters in it. At the end of a letter writing session, I often just save the whole lot as one file.
I got the idea to search the folder for instances of a certain phrase I know is in each letter, and only once each letter. When I search for this phrase, I just get every doc in the folder, as you'd expect. Is there a way of finding out specifically how many instances of the search phrase are in the search results?
I know I could do a Windows search, open each result in Word, do a Find, and count them all up, but there are 1,700 different docs in the folder.
