Search a specific string in URLs across multiple Word documents
I would like to search for a specific string ("urldefense") in URLs across multiple Word documents that are all in the same folder. (I use Word on a Windows 11 desktop.) If it's possible to do this, I'd be grateful for directions.

You can search for a specific string, such as "urldefense," across multiple Word documents stored in a single folder. While Microsoft Word does not provide a native feature for multi‑document search, this can be accomplished using either Windows Search or a VBA macro within Word to automate the process.
