Question regarding using {dlgstring} in Opus 13 Beta with Everything 1.5

[abr01]

Following button in Opus 13 Beta command does not return any results. Using Opus' '+' query, adding content:search: works as expected. I suspect, that the curly brackets ar not compatible with Everything's syntax. Is there another way to handle this?

Set Focus=right
Find CLEAR QUERYENGINE=everythingglobal QUERY content:search:{dlgstring}

Please check the received IPC request in the Everything Debug Console:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, check Console.

IPC requests are shown in Cyan color.

What is the {dlgstring} from Opus? and what is received by Everything?

Well, the {dlgstring} is the input, the search item, which is received.. All the other filters from Everything work fine in Opus 13 Beta, because they have predefined criteria, like file: dupe: dupesize: size:>500mb, no input needed. But in this case, like in my code example, it won't work at the moment, at least with the {dlgstring}. If i use the '+' command in Opus' Find As you Type, and add content:search: there, it works. So i wasn't sure, if the brackets clash with Everything's syntax, or the developers may have a look on their side, whether they can make this function work. At the moment i use their '+' FAYT mode, and append the content:search: part using some Autohotkey shortcut, which does the typing for me. About the IPC, i am not very technically skilled, but maybe the developers from GP Soft can make something of it. Thanks!

What is the exact request received by Everything shown in the debug console?
(please email to support@voidtools.com if you don't want to post here)

I wonder if it's a macro or the preprocessor or an operator breaking your content search..

For example, i try to find the word 'cinema' in some text file, that woul be my input, what {dlgstring} is receiving in Opus. I am not sure, how Opus is communicating at that point with Everything, regarding the debugging process.

In the meantime an user found the right syntax to make it work. So, the problem is solved. Here is the code that works:

@set query= {dlgstring}
Find CLEAR QUERYENGINE=everythingglobal QUERY content:{$query}
