Is there a way to search something using boolean operator like OR, AND, etc.?
Hello,
there are no boolean functions like OR, AND, etc…for text searches. The LibreOffice way is to use regular expressions - see
- LibreOffice Help - Using Regular Expressions in Text Searches
- LibreOffice Help - List of Regular Expressions
- Regular Expressions - ICU User Guide
Hope that helps.

Search key1 and key2 within each paragraph
Step a) CTRL + H3, search ^(.)*key1(.)*$
with “regular expression” flag activated
Step b) step a has selected all paragraph containing key1.
search (CTRL + H) ^(.)*key2(.)*$
activating both the “only in selection” and “regular expression” flags
Search key1 or key2 within each paragraph
Search (CTRL + H ) ^(.)*(key1|key2)(.)*$
with regular expression flag activated
Only paragraphs with key1 and key2 in the first case and key1 or key2 in the second will be selected.
With a macro, the search with the and connector can carry out the two steps in sequence (or the n steps for n keys connected with and)
