Search & Locate a a file that contains a set of characters and Highlight ?

Post by Flourgrader »

Hi Guys,
I am new to using to Everything (1.5a)
I am still exploring the capabilities to Everything (1.5a)
I am experimenting with the Search Option.
I can find a phrase or a set of words inside a file EG: “ What A sunny Day”
The search returns the name of the file G:\TextFile.txt
My question: is it possible to have the software open the file and locate & highlight the phrase: “ What A sunny Day”
I have my highlight colour set to Yellow.
So then Highlight the text yellow so I can quickly locate the phrase in the document ?

I am using the Menu option: Search > advanced Search> A word or phrase in the file.
I don’t know if there is a better method or quicker method of doing this search.
I am still finding my way around the software.
Thank you.

Currently not possible with Everything.

Everything will simply tell you if the file contains or does not contain the text.

Use your text editor to find the search text again.
