Search for 'None of the words'

[lfolsen]

Using Advanced search, there is an option to search for 'None of the words' which I take is intended to be used to search for words or phrases NOT included in the PDF file(s). I haven't been able to make this work at all. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Hello Lars,

You can use the "None of the Words" field in the advanced search when you are performing a search on multiple files to make sure that only results from files not containing those terms are shown.

Please note that in order for this to work properly you should fill in the other fields in that dialogue as well.

Best,
Stefan

Still no dice. I have a folder with 10 files which are mostly similar. Four files doesn't contain a single word, the other six does. No matter how many or few fields I fill out in the 'Advanced Search' dialogue box, I still can't search for word which are not in the four files. The reverse search works fine (search for the word in the files where it's present) and that returns six results.

Hi Lars,

Just did a quick check myself - and will now discuss this with my colleagues.
We will advise here as soon as we have any further news.

Best,
Stefan
