searching content in Japanese

[mdbvma]

Hello, I just installed this software today, so I don't know a lot about how to use it. However, I was wondering why I was able to search the contents of files for words in English with no problem, but unable to search the contents of files in Japanese. When I search for the title of files, I have no problem doing so in either English or Japanese. So, when I just type Tokyo or 東京, it works fine. But if I search content:東京, none of the files containing that search term will display, even though searching content:Tokyo works fine for files in English. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

What type of files contain the text 東京? (for example: txt, docx, pdf)

Everything uses the system iFilter to search file content.

I was searching text files at the time. I did try ext:txt;xlsx content:東京, but no results came back. The same search did successfully detect files with English words, but I couldn't get any Japanese results.

Running Everything as admin might use the wrong code page for txt files with no BOM.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

There might be an issue with the system iFilter..
Please try forcing Everything to treat txt files as UTF-8 by searching for:

ext:txt utf8content:東京

Other searches to try:

ext:txt ansicontent:東京

ext:txt unicodecontent:東京

Could you please upload a file that contains 東京 but doesn't show up in Everything in a bug report.

Thanks a lot. I used "utf8content:" instead of just "content:" and that worked.
