Hi,
At present, such a search query is
not permitted (0 objects):
I would therefore like to see a query like this, because then one would not have to restrict by file extension, like for example:
Would you please check the suggestion.
Thank you!

Please use the search modifier first, for example:
exact:content:11%
Otherwise, you are searching for the text "exact:" in your file content.
exact: will match the entire content, is that what you want? the above search will only match files that contain the text 11% and nothing else.
ext:txt content:11%
Is the ext:txt just to avoid using iFilters?
-If so please try the binary: search modifier:
For example:
binary:exact:content:11%
This will bypass any iFilters and treat the file content as binary.

Hi,
Thank you for the information.
My goal was to find files that have the exact search term "11%" as file content ,
and do not occur in a file (e.g. with tens of pages) in combination with other text.
Exact search term because with "11%" the page number 11, for example, would otherwise also be found in any document.
In the meantime, however, I think that such a search limitation is probably not possible for a file content search.
Regards,
Karl

Thanks for the reply Karl,
Is Everything ignoring the % in your content: search? -Everything should be matching the % -it might be the iFilter doing something weird and injecting a %
exact: is most likely not the search modifier you want, as it will match the whole file content.

Hi,
I just wanted to find the exact search term: 11% ... in words: 11 percent ... in the file content .
This is obviously not possible.
But thank you for the information.
Regards,
Karl

I have no problem to find 11% in txt and pdf documents using content search.

I think tuksa would like to search for:
11%
and have it match:
11percent
I have on my TODO list to support "Synonyms".
Useful to treat and = 'n = &
one could be added for % = percent

Me neither.
ext:txt content:"11%"
does the job.
Consider using
ext:txt ww:content:"11%"
to eliminate cases with "111%" and "11%gold"
(ww: = match whole word )

Your assumption was right.
@
All
Thanks for the support!
NotNull 's solution gave me the desired result:
Content_11%_(exact-only 11pct).png

I suspect the German speaking people of this community will be very happy with that.
That would mean that they can add
ue as a synonym to
ü , so searching for
grün also finds
gruen
