Hi!
I want to find a way to search only contents and file name, without
searching author or other metatags.
I use Foxtrot to search a large database of texts written by many different
people - but edited vy a few.
If I want all texts from a specific user I can always find them in the
document contents or file name.
The problem is that som of the editors are writers to, and when I want to
search for their texts I also get all the texts they edited since their
names are in the author metatag.
And I can't find a way to search only contents or filename, without
including metatags search.
If I add a string which excludes the author - the files that they have
written disappears at the same time.


Example
I want to find every text written by "Henrik Malmsten". The textdocuments I
want to find all have "Henrik Malmsten" in the contents or file name.
String #1: Contents, any metatag or filename includes consecutive words
"Henrik Malmsten"
Result: All files I written + all files I edited (tagged author Henrik
Malmsten)

If I sort out author "Henrik Malmsten" I get nothing since every text is
edited and saved on a software which makes me author.
