Issue with Content Indexing for .nfo Files

Post by McBluna »

Hello,

Windows 11 25H2 32GB
Everything-1.5.0.1399a.x64
Everything-1.5.0.1400a.x64

I am encountering an issue where content within
.nfo
files is not being indexed by the system.

I have confirmed that indexing works correctly for files with extensions
.xml
,
.php
, and
.py
. However, despite successful indexing of these other text-based file types, the content of
.nfo
files is consistently omitted from the search index.

To troubleshoot, I performed a test where I renamed a file from
tvshow.nfo
to
tvshow.xml
. After this change, the content of the file was successfully indexed and searchable, which strongly suggests the issue is specific to the handling or recognition of the
.nfo
file extension during the indexing process.

Please find the attached screenshots for visual reference:

Could you please investigate this matter and provide assistance?

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,
McBluna

Please try removing the space after
*.nfo

-Set Include only files to:

*.xml;*.nfo;*.php;*.py


Everything will treat spaces in filters literally.

Hello void,

It appears I overlooked the blank value. The issue is resolved, and it's now working as expected
Thank you for your patience and time.
