Extend browser shortcut to search selected text in file contents

[horst.epp]

But we are talking about the case where the search term in Everything’s search bar is no longer enclosed in square brackets?

I did not read the whole story but for me your updated PSPad line doesn't work
with a bookmark from browser, which is the main topic for this thread.
Why should I ever enter such a string manually in the search bar ?

If the value is entered manually (e.g. directly in the Everything search bar), you doesn't have angle brackets around the search term.

The new command allows you to support both scenarios: manual input and values passed from the browser.

However, you must first modify the bookmark in your browser so that when you enter a search term, it is not enclosed in angle brackets in Everything...
