Search content with escape operators

[w64bit]

1.5.0.1352a
Tried to search for content
Arial"/><w:sz
with escape operators
content:"Arial&quot:&sol:&gt:&lt:w&colon:sz"
No result.
Any suggestion?

[void]

Please try:

Code: Select all

content:Arial&quot:/><w:sz

Everything will use system iFilters to read file content.
Some iFilters will strip out < > tags.

If the above doesn't match, please try:

Code: Select all

textplaincontent:Arial&quot:/><w:sz

[w64bit]

I have a particular situation with an archived XML file.
If I search
ext:zip textplaincontent:Arial&quot:/><
cannot find ZIP file.
In XML, if you delete last character (r) from first line and save the archive, the program is able to find the ZIP file.

[void]

textplaincontent: will not work with zip files.

textplaincontent: will treat the file content as
UTF-8 (with BOM or valid UTF-8)
UTF-16BE (with BOM)
UTF-16LE (with BOM)
ANSI
or in some cases as UTF-16BE or UTF-16LE without a BOM if there is NUL ANSI characters.

zip files will most likely be treated as ANSI text.



Everything cannot search zip content yet.
It might be possible with third party iFilters and a content: search.

To check the content read by Everything and the system iFilter, include the following in your search:

1.zip regex:dotall:content:^(.*)$ addcol:regmatch1
where 1.zip is your zip filename.

The read content is shown under the regmatch1 column.
