Hello,

My query does not work, Everything 1.4.1 cannot find any file:

C:\folder\ type:html content:<body id="gen"

I would like to find HTML files containing this string:

Code: Select all

<body id="gen"

Thanks and regards

Everything 1.4 uses the system iFilter to search html content.

The stock iFilter on Windows will strip out all html tags.

In Everything 1.4, please try the following search:

utf8content:"<body id="quot:"gen"quot:

( use quot: to escape a literal double quote (") and use double quotes to escape spaces )

It is easier to set this up in the Advanced Search (Search -> Advanced Search).
Set the content type to UTF-8 and fill in a word or phrase in the file.

Searching html content will be easier in Everything 1.5.

Everything 1.5 is html content aware.

In Everything 1.5, please try the following searches:

content*:<body id="gen"
( content*: treats the rest of the search as literal)
-or-
content:"<body id=&quot:gen&quot:"
