Searching File Contents

Post by dtfamily »

Hi, just downloaded Everything and loving it. I don't seem to be able to search file contents however. I go into Search- Advanced Search, then I enter a search word under "A word or phrase in the file", click ok, and it doesn't bring up anything. I'm trying to search a networked drive- could that be the problem?

Thanks for any help with this!

I installed GIT client, with that we can get all Unix commands in Windows.
Like find, vim, xargs. With find I am able to do this.
Ex: "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\find.exe" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i -l -w "enum" | grep -i bill
