This macro was written in response to this request (click here). It will filter for words from a list in a comma separated values (CSV) file that appear in the names of caches in the current database or filter.
Use:
1) Create (or download) a plain text comma separated values file containing the target words. The file should conatain a single word, followed by a comma, followed by another single word, etc:
word1,word2,word3,word4
Apostrophes (') are not allowed (e.g. you can use "dog" but not "dog's"). All words should be on one line within the file. Only whole words will count (e.g. including "dog" in the file will find "dog", but not "doggie" or "dogwood").
2) Optional: Set a filter for caches that meet any other requirements of the challenge (e.g. placed on or before certain dates, certain cache types, etc).
3) Run the macro. you will see this form:
