Re: Can't search content of .url files
Thanks for the bug report.
The url-associated iFilter treats URL files as having no content. (just a bunch of properties)
Please try the following search:
voidtools.url utf8content:voidtools.com
utf8content: will treat the .url file content as UTF-8.
While .URL files are technically not UTF-8, they are usually ASCII only (a subset of UTF-8)
Everything 1.5 has a text-plain-content: search function.
text-plain-content: will auto detect the correct text encoding.
I have also added .url files to the text/plain list for the next Everything 1.5 alpha update.
Extensions is this list are always treated as text/plain.
Everything 1.5 has the URL property which can be searched with the url: search function:
ext:url url:voidtools.com

Re: Can't search content of .url files
Thanks for the quick reply, it's worked!
Also suggestion: is it possible to somehow highlight the found results in the preview window?

Re: Can't search content of .url files
Highlighting content search matches in the preview pane is on my TODO list.
Sounds like there is an iFilter associated with .lng files which is not returning the correct content.
Please try the following search:
ext:lng utf8content:"Updater" | ansicontent:"Updater" | wcharcontent:"Updater"
--or, In Everything 1.5, please try the following search:
ext:lng text-plain-content:"Updater"
.lng files are not normally text/plain files.content search in .lng files also not working
