DIM searching with two or more terms

TSasha Smith

Is it possible to search in DIM for something with two or more terms such as Morphs, male, and 3  but those terms can be in any order in the name?

There is an advanced filtering guide here. It took me a while, but the regular expression below should work. Copy everything inside the quotes, but not the quotes themselves. Then paste it into the filter textbox. This regular expression is case-sensitive, so if you change "Male" to "male" it won't work. There is a way to make it not be case-sensitive but I'm not having any luck. For your purposes though it should work.

"rx::^(?=.*\bMorphs\b)(?=.*\bMale\b)(?=.*\b3\b).*$"

I have been given this as a case-insensitve version

rx::ci::^(?=.*\bmorphs\b)(?=.*\bmale\b)(?=.*\b3\b).*$

Thanks Richard. That is good to know for future reference. Cris' solution for the OP is much easier than mine, and avoids regular expressions entirely.

so "Genesis && Morphs" will get all the morphs for Genesis?  or would "morph && genesis" work better?

They are the same, other than capitalisation. The order doesn't matter (and you can string more than two terms together if desired).
