[solved]Content search does not work in the filter

[telanx]

I built a filter like this:
ext:txt;md;html;htm;ahk;ini;py;cmd;bat;ps1;chm; C:\Users\|D:\ !"\.vscode" !"Vim\" !"RECYCLE.BIN" utf8content:
Results:No files containing keywords were found.

or this, and then type "utf8content:keyword" in the search:
ext:txt;md;html;htm;ahk;ini;py;cmd;bat;ps1;chm; C:\Users\|D:\ !"\.vscode" !"Vim\" !"RECYCLE.BIN"
Result: Program will search all files, ignoring specified path parameters.

Now I paste content of the first filter into everything input through quick hot-string function of IME to correctly find the file containing keyword. I hope es can directly support such filter search. That would be great.

Assuming "es" means Everything Search and not the commandline tool ES.exe :

That is possible. Just add a placeholder variable to your filter query.

Code: Select all

Search = ext:txt;md;html;htm;ahk;ini;py;cmd;bat;ps1;chm; C:\Users\|D:\ !"\.vscode" !"Vim\" !"RECYCLE.BIN" utf8content:myquery:

Macro = code<myquery>

("myquery" could be (almost) any text you like; I often use %1 )


Now you can enable your filter and search for "my text"
OR: enter the query code:"my text"

Yes! That's what I mean!!! I didn't expect this kind of syntax.
Thank you so much for your explanation!

Excuse me, another question.
Can I use multiple macro variables?

For example:
filter -- ext:%1: utf8content:%2:
macro -- code<%1> <%2>
search input:'txt; keyword'

but it didn't work. Is there a multi-variable usage?

[telanx]

I think I found the answer.
Only one variable can be used in a filter, and the other filters in this filter must use the macro name. A variable can be passed to multiple locations in the search value.

I was asking myself this question too, some time ago.
After research and experimenting, it turned out that Everything will not expand the %2.

Behind the scenes, your query code:pdf foo would be executed as:

Code: Select all

nofiltercase:nofilterpath:nofilterwholeword:nofilterdiacritics:nofilterregex:<ext:pdf  utf8content:%2: > foo

TLDR: No.

Anyway, Thanks for your thoughts, good luck
