Searching HTML files?

[deguza]

I am discovering that Everything does not find my search text in html files.

Is this normal?

Thanks,

Please try using utf8content: instead of content:

For some reason the default iFilter for html only reads the text inside the marked up tags.
You could also change the iFilter for html to the text iFilter.

I could not see in settings anything related to UTF8content. How would I start using it?

Thanks,

"Content Searching
Warning: content searching is extremely slow.
File content is not indexed.
Please combine content: functions with other filters for the best performance.

Content search functions:
content: - Search file content using the associated iFilter. If no iFilter exists UTF-8 content is used.
ansicontent: - File contents are treated as ANSI text.
utf8content: - File contents are treated as UTF-8 text.
utf16content: - File contents are treated as UTF-16 (Unicode) text.
utf16becontent: - File contents are treated as UTF-16 (Big Endian) text.

Example, find emails, modified this week, containing the text "keyboard":

*.eml dm:thisweek content:keyboard
* Note: content: is used last in the search above, this means Everything will only search the content of files that matched the previous search (*.eml dm:thisweek)

* Note: the content: function requires Everything 1.4 or later."
Also look at Help->Search Syntax

content: and utf8content: are search functions in Everything 1.4.

You will need the Everything 1.4 beta.

To search file contents, search for content:<text> for example, to search for files containing the text abc 123 search for:
content:"abc 123"

content: uses the associated iFilter to find text, utf8content: treats the content as UTF-8.
