So how can I find all files that have written within them e.g.and notCode:
my-name
[...]
I have finally tested this - and it seems to work A-OK, as it is not being fooled by similar phrases and it also looks in apparently all file formats [because I was stunned to find out in just how many of them that test-text of mine my-name has appeared for various reasons]To create a filter to search file content only:
[...]
#replaceterms:#(:search:#):,#(:<#term:|content:#term:>#):
[...]
It took me that long because with over 2 000 000 files reported in my Everything the whole search process had to take around 22 hours [which was disrupting my daily workflow] - and now I have two question regarding this horrendous amount of time needed for such task:
A] What does the search process of this Filter looks for if the box of Search Edit remain empty? Does Everything attempts to cache all content of all files? And if it finishes such content-search-without-actually-specified-content-looked-for then will I be able to find instantly any phrase? [Or will that be virtually impossible, unless I have on the volume with Everything as much free space as those 2 000 000 files take on my other volumes plus I also / or have terabytes of RAM?]
B] If my above positive assumption is true [i.e. it is doable and without extra terabytes of storage and / or memory], then can the expression of this Filter be indexed - so that Everything will be always able to find instantly any phrase [i.e. without me waiting a whole day for just one search to finish]?
[When I writing this post I changed that Filter to the default Everything one and removed my test phrase that I had looked for - but then switched back to it and put in Search Edit that same my-name test phrase: and my Everything started apparently once more to perform the whole searching process from start]
