Re: How to use startwith?
Thanks. That makes it clearer.
So if ^ and startwith: are conceptually the same, shouldn't match_start_of_filename_with_caret affect both (or there should be an equivalent parameter for startwith:), since the same logic applies?

Word .docx files are compressed very much like .zip files.
If a .docx file, say wd,docx, is renamed to .zip, then this will work to find fonts:
wd.zip content:acme
(Most (all?) word documents contain some default formats, such as Times New Roman.)
