❓ Content search brings 0 results

[wise_mike]

Hi,

I just installed Everything 1.5 Alpha for content search purpose, added the include only folder, and filetypes, but it does nothing. I tried searching for html files that has the text "jpg" using content:"jpg" command, but nothing shows, and nothing seemed indexed. No progress bar in the program's taskbar.

Should I be changing any other options in the program to work? What am I doing wrong?

I have Windows 10 search disabled as I don't use it and it slows the computer, could that be the reason? Is Everything dependent on Windows Search Index?

Thanks,

Please uncheck the Exclude not content indexed in the dialog of your screenshot.

If checked, Everything will Exclude files and folders with the not content indexed attribute
The not content indexed attribute will be set (or not) by Windows Search.

Unchecking Exclude not content indexed will make Everything index the specified content, regardless of the Windows Search configuration.

Works great.. Thanks.

A couple of questions:
1- Is there a "count" option that shows how many matches in each file for the search term? I found a "Run Count" column, most of the time it shows no numbers.

2- In the Options > Indexes > Database Location, I changed to a certain folder. Now the indexer is still running indexing thousands of document content, but the folder I change the DB location to is still 607 bytes. Isn't there a database file like sql or something the stores the content so it doesn't re-index them each time I open the program (if they are unchanged files)?

Thanks for the great program.

A Content Occurrence Count property is on my TODO list.

For now, please consider the following filter:
From the Search menu, click Add to filters...
Change the Name to:
Content with Count
Change the Search to:

Code: Select all

content:search: add-column:a a-label:"Content Count" a:=(LEN(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER($content:)))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER($content:)),REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER(search:)),"")))/LEN(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER(search:)))

Change the Macro to:
cc<search>
Click OK.

Instead of using content: use cc:

Everything stores the database in memory.
The database is written to disk when you exit Everything.

Great support! Thanks a million.

The following filter search fixes an issue with evaluating the parameter.

Code: Select all

content:"#[REGEXREPLACE:search:#]:" add-column:a a-label:"Content Count" a:=(LEN(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER($content:)))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER($content:)),REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER("#[REGEXREPLACE:search:#]:")),"")))/LEN(REMOVEDIACRITICS(LOWER("#[REGEXREPLACE:search:#]:")))

search: => "#[REGEXREPLACE:search:#]:"

I'm working on a cleaner solution...

I'm working on a cleaner solution...

And you did! (by introducing the STRINGCOUNT() formula)

Filter:

Code: Select all

Name = Content with Count
Search = content:search:   addcol:A   A-label:="Content Count"   A:=STRINGCOUNT($content:,search:)
Macro = cc<search>

Search:
cc:"hello world"

Result:
In the extra Content Count column will be shown how many times "hello world" was detected in each file.
