Keyword search of all my past logs

[+Pork King]

Title says it.  I want to search all of my previous geocache "found it" logs for specific keywords.  can it be done?

 

Basically, I found a special item in a cache many years ago, and I'm sure i mentioned it in the logs, but i don't remember the day, the cache, or even the area i was in.  I'd like to try and find the log.

Do you use GSAK?  This search of your "found it" logs is easy if you download your "My Finds" pocket query into a GSAK database.  See example below.

I did just bust out my old windows laptop and booted up GSAK, which i haven't used in 100 years.  I figured it might have a feature like that.  I'll have to give that a try.  

 

One question: if the word I'm looking for is commonly found within other words (as an example, I woudn't want searching for 'ing' to return every word with 'ing'), does gsak allow "quotes" to isolate just the word or series of letters im looking for?

Then use a regex search instead. \b is a regex tag for word boundary
