<![CDATA[Search multiple terms or search file import]]>Is it possible to search for multiple terms at once ie a long list of numbers - and along the same theme is it possible to use a txt file as the search criteria - again a long list of numbers separate by manual line break?

jein, depends on what you understand a long list is.
The find what field accepts up to 2046 chars, so if your
list is longer then that than no.

If not, then you can use regex and an alternation list like this

find what:number1|number2|number3...

A file cannot be provided to find inputbox field.
