The "content" command does not search specific files.

[somebody3978]

The "content" command works fine when it does. But it seems to not recognize certain extensions.
Example,

If I use the command

"*.txt" AND content:"need"

, it will work perfectly and it will show me only the TXT files that contain the word "need".

But if I use this command,

"*.ffpreset" AND content:"need"

, it will not display anything.
"ffpreset" internally is just a text file with other extension. If I rename the "ffpreset" extension to "txt", it will behave correctly, but it will be cumbersome to have to rename all the files every time I encounter a similar situation but with thousands of files.

There is most likely an iFilter behaving badly.

Please try the following search:

*.ffpreset utf8content:"need"



Please try SearchFilterView to manage iFilters.
Remove .ffpreset from any iFilters.

Please try the following search:

*.ffpreset utf8content:"need"

No luck.

Please try SearchFilterView to manage iFilters.
Remove .ffpreset from any iFilters.

I use Text Crawler as an alternative search tool, works but Everything is much faster doing the same job.

Please try the following search:

*.ffpreset unicodecontent:"need"

utf8content: / unicodecontent: will override the system iFilter and use the specified text encoding.



Do you know the text encoding of the ffpreset files?



Everything 1.5 will have a textplaincontent: search.

Please try the following search:

*.ffpreset unicodecontent:"need"

This worked perfectly! I didn't know, it's not on the command list. Thank you so much!

I don't know. I only know that it can be opened with notepad and edited as a plane text: open, edit and save. FFDShow (decoder) imports it without problems.

Everything 1.5 will have a textplaincontent: search.

It would be great. This is one of the most useful PC programs I've used in years. Congratulations!

Looks like it must be Unicode
