AskWoody LoungerJanuary 27, 2019 at 7:41 pm #317109Huh.ย Been using Everything many times/day for a few years [couldn’t live w/out it!]ย and never drilled down to the ‘search file content’ option.ย But as it notes there, content is not indexed so you must use it with filename filters or cobwebs will be on your keyboard before it is done.
