select_only_text_files_containing

You only want text files which contain either roses or violets or seeds, and flowers must be present too, so must garden and spade But you do not want lime juice to be present in the text.

 

If you want book or hotel but only if they're not in a text file containing publish or Booker Prize: write book into the first box, hotel in the box beside it, and publish* and Booker * in the first two boxes in the bottom row.

 

If you want to know which text files met your criteria and which did not you can choose save text file data in the Advanced options.
