You can. You want to use the Search function (Edit > Advanced Search). Look it up in the Acrobat Help file.

2. Re: Wilcard Boolean Searches
Thanks Steve, I've been using the search menu for a while now by entering in "every" date in the PDF's
that I want to find. But now my requirements have changed to needing to find every date in the pile of PDF's
that ARE NOT a single certain date. Eg: I need to find every date in a document that "isn't" 01/01/2012.
I've tried many combo's of characters inc. Boolean " ? " and " * " to no effect. Eg: ??/??/???? not 01/01/2012.
I've also tried the "additional criteria" section saying "Is not".
I appreciate your help and your quick reply. Cheers.

Not directly, but there's another feature that you might be able to leverage - Search and Redact. You can use that feature to Search but chose not to redact.
See this link for details:
