Windows settings, and searching inside word/pdf files

[freek]

Hello everyone who cares enough to read this forum, which is awesome, I love voidtools' Everything.

Someone asked me, if Everything searched for Windows settings like, change time and date.
to which i replied, no.

also as far as i know, it does not index the contents of pdf or docx files.

if it did this, it could be a complete replacement for WSearch.

Everything does not index content, but it can search for it. It is slow if you have many files, but quite reasonable if you can limit the size of the search:

Code: Select all

Somefiles  docx content:lookforme

Support for searching virtual folders is planned for Everything 1.5.
