How to preview the content you search

[bragandbounce]

Hello everyone!

I have searched "grew up" and get more than ten results. In the "Content" window, only two results show "grew up" (marked by red lines) because they appear in the first few sentences of the documents.

How to set Everything, so that all the results show "grew up"?

For each result, I need to preview only the content containing "grew up", not the content of the first few sentences.

Is it possible? Thank you!

This is not possible with the Content column.

It can be done by capturing the matching line with regex:

regex:content:"(.*grew up.*)" add-column:1

Hello, I have done a test. It looks that the word I am searching for still does not appear in the results column. See below.

The word "Rotheram" is in the last part of the document. It does not appear in the results column.

Thank you!

There's no newlines in the document, so Everything will still show the entire content in the regex match 1 column.

Please try the following instead:

regex:content:"(.{0,20}Rotheram.{0,20})" add-column:1

This will capture at-most 20 characters before and after your word of interest.

Is it possible to make the content I search for bold? See the picture below: it is easy to find Rotheram in the results if it is highlighted.

To highlight Rotheram in the Regmatch1 column:

regex:content:"(.{0,20}Rotheram.{0,20})" add-column:1 1:Rotheram

Hi bragandbounce.
I suspect (but am not certain) that something like a KWIC presentation would satisfy you. In this topic Void suggests a method.
