Search content automatically without "content:" modifier?

[guacamole]

Hello,

Is there any way to set Everything to automatically search content without having to add the "content:" modifier to the search query?

Thanks in advance!

Please try creating a Filename or Content filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Set the Name to:
  Filename or Content
• Change the Search to:
  #replaceterms:#(:search:#):,#(:<#term:|content:#term:>#):
• Change the Macro to:
  filenameorcontent<search>
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
Active the Filename or Content filter to search for filenames or content.

For the best performance, consider indexing content from Tools -> Options -> Content.

Thank you, that seems to be working!

I also moved this new search filter to the top of the list in Manage Filters, will this make it the "default" filter?

Thanks again!

The 'default filter' is whatever you have specified under Tools -> Options -> General -> Home -> Filter:

[void]

Note: you can customize your Everything filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters....
• Select Everything and click Edit....
• Change the Search to:
  #replaceterms:#(:search:#):,#(:<#term:|content:#term:>#):
• Change the Macro to:
  filenameorcontent<search>
• Click OK.
• Click OK.

This works - but it also shows on list with results all items that happen to have in them whatever I will put in the box of Search Edit


So how can I find all files that have written in them e.g.

Code: Select all

my-name

and not files named like

Code: Select all

this is my-name
my-name and last name

by the means of choosing a Filter and then writing in Search Edit

Code: Select all

my-name

?

A side suggestion here, when you right-click in the preview box you could have a "Search for content" menu item analogous to when you click a column heading, which would place a

Code: Select all

content:

phrase in the search edit box.

To create a filter to search file content only:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Set the Name to:
  Content
• Change the Search to:
  content:$param:
• Click OK.

I have on my TODO list to add my own text preview handler with search functionality.
Thank you for the suggestion.
