Default Use of Special Operators in searching files

I want to be able to search my documents and find, for instance, a document
with a ''2'' near an ''http'' and the word ''alprazolam.'' I saw once some
discussion of using the word 'Near' as an opeator in the Search function.
Anyone seen this?

It is supported in SQL. Referred to as a proximity operator.

If I download MBSA 2.1, can I use it as a search engine?

Hello,

For such searches, you can use Agent Ransack - it supports regex
expressions, which needs some training to form one query.

Or you can use Google Desktop - http://desktop.google.com - which allows for
more search customization
