Search in .htm (.html) files

[AE_AE]

Hello!

Thanks very much for the super desktop search utility for Windows. "Everything" is the very useful, helpful and easy search engine. Every day I search files by filename and by content many times. And so I found some bugs.

My English is poor, but I try to put my ideas (thought) into words clearly.

fact_01: BUG.
Everything_1.4.1.935 DOESN'T find English and Russian words (letters) in .htm and .html types of files, irrespective of character encoding (UTF-8 with BOM or UTF-8 without BOM) in part of code Location of Bookmark <A HREF=" " >.

fact_02: Normal. Everything_1.4.1.935 FIND English and Russian words (letters) in .htm and .html types of files, irrespective of character encoding (UTF-8 with BOM or UTF-8 without BOM) in parts of code Location and Description of Bookmark <DD> and Name of Bookmark > </A>.

For example:

There are two .html files (Everything_bookmarks_UTF8_BOM.html and Everything_bookmarks_UTF8_no_BOM.html) in attachments. These files are bookmarks from browser. These bookmarks contain 2 hyperlinks:

Using Everything_1.4.1.935

01. You CAN find these words: "Вопросы", "voidtools", "Everything", "Хабр", "встречал", "люблю", because they are in part of code <DD> or > </A>.

02. You CANNOT find these words: "voidtools.com", "ru-ru", "habr", "post/42354/", "habr.com", "ww.void" because they are in part of code <A HREF=" " >.

Please, fix this BUG in next versions of Everything (if this possible).

Thanks very much.

If I understand the content: function correctly (I don't use it very often), it will search in the resulting text of a document (minus formatting and layout), just as Windows Search uses for indexing (see iFilter).

If you want to search in the raw text, you can use some other Everything functions:
ansicontent:
utf8content:
utf16content:
utf16becontent:

In your case, replace content: with utf8content: to also search in - for example - HREF attributes.

Hello, NotNull!

Thanks very much for your quick answer. You helped me.

Now I find any text in .htm (.html) files by using request: .HTM utf8content:

Also I have began to use your advice for another cases.

For example, Everything_1.4.1.935 DOESN'T find Russian words (letters) in .txt type of files, when character encoding is UTF-8 without BOM.

Now I find any text in .txt files, when character encoding is UTF-8 without BOM, by using request: .txt utf8content:

Glad that I could help.

FYI: it is under consideration for a next major version of Everything to bypass this iFilter behaviour for certain text-based files like xml, html and json.
That way you don't have to use the utf8content: function to find your text, but you can use the "normal" content: function instead.
