Friends... i just need a YES or NO and a little HOW

Post by superadmin »

I have just downloaded this gem and it is difficult to believe what i have been missing from for the last X number of years in my life with over 3million documents, for REAL.
I searched in the FORUMS and FAQ and it was in the latter that i seemed to have understood that EVERYTHING can search file contents.
Is this correct and if so, how do i do that?
I apologize if this has been answered before.

Thank you for your feedback superadmin,

To search file content, please try the content: search function.

For example, to search for the content "To be or not to be" in docx files, modified this year, search for:
ext:docx dm:thisyear content:"To be or not to be"

Note: File content is not indexed. Searching file content will be very slow.
For the best performance, combine the content: search with other search filters.

Please try the Advanced Search under the search menu and set the "A word or phrase in the file" field.
For the best performance, set as many fields in the Advanced Search as possible.

In Everything version 1.5
there is content indexing which makes searching for content fast.
It's applicable for a smaller set of files and formats.
