I would like to be able to specify multiple search terms in the Content tab, in much the same way as the advanced search function in Kmail allows.

Further, being able to search for files that contain one or more terms but also do NOT contain other terms would be very useful.

Reproducible: Always




I have a large number of Open Office documents, and often have to search for files containing 2 or 3 distinct terms, and sometimes need to exclude another term. Presently, the way I do this is to do separate kfind searches on each term and manually look for files that are in the "required" results and not in the "exclude" results.
