Searching contents of .srt files

Post by tprodromos »

Hello,
I'm searching the contents of subtitle files (.srt).
I would like to see the preview. I'm not getting it.
Did I miss something?
They are plain text files.
Thanks.

To show text previews of srt files in Everything and Windows Explorer:
  • From the Start menu, search for: regedit
  • Right click Registry Editor and click Run as administrator.
  • Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
  • Create the following key:
    .srt
  • Navigate to the following key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.srt
  • Create a new string value called:
    PerceivedType
  • Set the value data to:
    text

Thanks, it worked.
I would like to suggest a feature: Highlight the search term in the preview window!

Highlighting the search terms in the preview is on my TODO list.

Thank you for your suggestion.
