Hi Philos,

Some of Word's solutions require a macro rather
than just using the Word user interface. You didn't
mention if you are just searching for those words or
if you have a need to do processing of some type
on them once found, but it sounds like you're
looking to do a conditional search (i.e. if within
a sentence you find 'same' then look for 'drink'
else, stop looking).

Word doesn't really 'think' in terms of sentences.
If you're looking for a particular string within
a given area of your document, then
If you use your cursor to select a word string,
phrase, sentence or paragraph and then do your
Find or Find/Replace Word will generally limit
the initial search to the selected area.

With a sentence selected using Edit/Replace
with Wildcards and a search string of

same*drink*.

and using a replace string of
^& plus [Format] Font Red
did do a search similar to what Google's default is.

Still loking for help. Boolean search is so common and useful ... wouldn't
the Microsoft programmers have thought of it?
