Searching file/folder names within compressed files

[Shooter3k]

Is it possible to search for file/folder names within compressed files? I've read a bunch of threads about how that might exist in 1.5 but I haven't been able to find that option.

This is not yet available

[void]

zip-file-name:

For example:

*.zip zip-file-name:"Everything.exe"


Requires Everything 1.5.

Indexing properties in Everything 1.5.
(Add the container filenames property).

[horst.epp]

I didn't know that this is available
Are other archive types like 7z or rar planned ?
How can I get the filenames inside of the supported archives (*.zip) indexed ?

[void]

7z and rar support is planned.

The zip filenames can only be searched with the zip-file-name: search.
The zip filenames can only be shown with the Container filenames column.

Any updates to this feature request?

the ask: to be able to search for file/folder names that are found within compressed files

Any updates to this feature request?

In what respect, something other then ZIP?

[void]

zip and rar are supported.

7z is still on my TODO list.

No wonder i couldnt find 7z files when i know the file exists inside of it lol

[void]

Everything 1.5.0.1353a adds 7z support for the container filenames and container file count properties.

[anmac1789]

Does filename include finding folders as well or just files with an extension ? and also does this search for the "name" anywhere in the path inside archives or just at the end of the path ?

[therube]

Looks like filename &/or directory name.

*.7z zip-file-name:"Everything.exe"

Code: Select all

How do you get this kind of detailed output ?

[therube]

7-zip - command line,

7z.exe (7za.exe) l archive.7z

(though, on my end, I call it 777.exe).
(Virtually) all archivers support 'l'.

Code: Select all

l : List contents of archive (7-zip)
l: List contents of archive  (ARJ)
-l  list files (short format) (unzip)
l[t[a],b]     List archive contents [technical[all], bare] (rar) ...

(I have no idea what the 7-zip GUI may show.)

Thank you for this

[Shooter3k]

zip and rar are supported.

7z is still on my TODO list.

zipfilename:
File types known to Everything

If I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, using one of these filters searches the contents (in real time) of these file types, is that correct?

container-file-name:
container-file-names:
rar-file-name:
rar-file-names:
zip-file-name:
zip-file-names:
7z-file-name:
7z-file-names:


If so, is there a way to allow Everything to index these file types, before hand, and keep that in it's running searchable index?

container-file-name:
container-file-names:

I know I can use these specifically, I use container-file-names: for multiple filename

rar-file-name:
rar-file-names:
zip-file-name:
zip-file-names:
7z-file-name:
7z-file-names:

I have not tried this because usually I search all archive types -- .7z, .zip, .rar

[void]

container-file-name:
container-file-names:
rar-file-name:
rar-file-names:
zip-file-name:
zip-file-names:

These are all aliases.

Index the "Container Filenames" property if you would like instant searching.

I'm assuming you meant "container-file-names" correct?

Pardon my ignorance here, but I'm not seeing any option to index the container-file-names automatically anywhere in the Everything 'Index' settings. How/Where do I enable this option?

[void]

Everything ignores the dashes (-)

container-file-names: is the same as container-filenames:



You will need Everything 1.5 to index container filenames.
Indexing properties.
