@Terisa de morgan - no apologies needed, or warranted

Fuzzy search, puts me in mind of fuzzy logic and the still unfulfilled promises of so-called expert systems 20+years ago.

Below is a screenshot of Ransack - one of the things it can do is to output results to a CSV which you can easily hack to make it suitable for use with the Import List PI. It caches 'stuff' so 2nd & subsequent searches are lightning fast.

Ransack will search contents of text, Office and PDF files. For simple things its better than Windows Search.
