      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.

        Cheers

          A potential difficulty with this type of searching is what if your number appears inside another number… For example, 345 occurs inside 1234567… I think the problem definition needs to be rounded out by the OP before a solid solution can be built…
