Ability to search for files and content at same time

Post by nappyjim »

Is it possible to search for files and content at same time?

For example, right now I am looking in my folders for information related to the term cobot.

So I search

Code: Select all

cobot
and it shows me all the files/folders with cobot in their name.

Then I search

Code: Select all

content:"cobot
and it shows me all the files with cobot in their content.


Can I do a super search and have it list both the files/folders and files with content at same time?

In Everything 1.5 make a filter which combines both.
Mine is named FioC
If this filter is active, all searches are made by name and content.
The search term is as follows
#replaceterms:#(:search:#):,#(:<#term:|content:#term:>#):

Looks like this then

Hmmm, I tried that but when I search and select that filter, my results are blank. If I choose the 'Everything' filter, it shows results.

In the ‘Macro’ field, insert e.g. this text:

Code: Select all

fc<search>
Example of a search:

Code: Select all

fc:mysearch

You didn't make what I have shown you.
As tuska said, you left out the macro code
which is clearly shown in my screenshot.

Sorry I though that fc was some hotkey or something. I added it in and its working as expected. Thanks
