Hi and thanks for this great piece of software.
I'd like to search from the inside of a Word or Powerpoint document. Clicking on a link or something else should give me the result. (The perfect solution would be, if I get a clickable list of the search results in the Office document.)
Is this possible with voidtools everything?
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for your reply, but the problem is not the search string, but how to call a predefined search string out of the word or powerpoint document.

Not quite sure what you're after, but maybe, Start everything with keyword.

This is an image of a part of my "word" document. At the top you see some found documents which are links to other documents. these links should be made with everything. When I click on a link, I want to open the document.

Please try the ES URL Protocol.
Examples:
Search for ABC AND 123:
es:ABC%20123
Search for foo#bar:
es:foo%23bar
Enable regex and search for ^123456789:
es:^123456789?regex=1
Enable regex, set the sort to date modified descending and search for ^123456789:
es:^123456789?regex=1&sort=date-modified-descending
Clear the search and select C:\Windows\Notepad.exe
es:#c%3A%5Cwindows%5Cnotepad.exe
Search for *.jpg and show thumbnails:
es:*.jpg?view=128
