Hey OliSturm, it’s my understanding that your inquiry has been similar to what we’ve discussed here previously & that’s why I moved your post under this thread. Maybe my post in the previous page helps you narrow down the results, however I’ve also included your meticulous explanation in my report internally, as your constructive feedback helps us better understand your needs. 
 
Once you have a bit of time to check back on how these pointers work for you, please let me know if you have any follow-up questions or observations & it’ll be a pleasure to touch-base with you here. Thanks again for taking the time to drop us a line on the Dropbox Community & enjoy the rest of your day until we talk again!

Hi @Jane,

I've read the thread, but I'm afraid the topic is quite different - this thread is largely about file name search patterns, while my concern is about searching file content. Perhaps you are correct that both topics are related to "advanced search", but the title of the thread really has nothing to do with the topic of my message. I would appreciate it if you could reinstate my message as a separate thread for discussion.

Thanks

Oli
