Is anyone aware of an app or script that will permit searching for a series of terms?

For example, if i have recovered 100 .doc files and want to automate a search through all simultaneously for, say, 20 different terms, (and not 1 term at a time), what would you suggest?

I would want the search to disclose any .doc that has any 1 of the terms, and not only .docs that only contain all of the terms.

Please feel free to respond to me directly via email, if you'd like.

Gil

Even grep should be able to do this using the -f switch, though you may want to use the -a switch since Word documents are complex.

Not the best solution, but the -f switch allows you to search as many terms as you wish at once.
