Like Everything but searching documents for text ...

[brooksr]

Is a product (preferably free) that is like Everything but searches documents for a text string? Or does Everything do it and I don't know about it ... TIA

To search file content in Everything, please try the content: search function.

For example, to search for the content "To be or not to be" in docx files, modified this year, search for:
ext:docx dm:thisyear content:"To be or not to be"

Note: File content is not indexed. Searching file content will be very slow.
For the best performance, combine the content: search with other search filters.

Please try the Advanced Search under the search menu and set the "A word or phrase in the file" field.
For the best performance, set as many fields in the Advanced Search as possible.

Use the Everything 1.5 version and configure content indexing.
This works fine for a certain amount of data and gives you a very fast content search.

Try DocFetcher and VS Code.
I think they have more features for this task.
