This lets you select some general options for your search.

 

Search subfolders

Searches all the subfolders of the current folder. If the current folder is the root folder, all folders on the disk will be searched. If this option is not selected only the current folder will be searched.

 

Match Case

The search is case sensitive.

 

Regular Expression

The search string is treated as a regular expression.

 

Whole words

The program searches for whole words only.

 

ZIP Spec

Enter your ZIP file specification here. You can use any wildcards in your specification and you can use more than one specification if it is separated by a space. If your ZIP file specification contains a space it should be enclosed in double quotes.

 

Previous ZIP file specifications can be retrieved from the history list. The files to be searched within each ZIP file are determined by the contents of File spec.

 

Examples

data.zip

Search data.zip

*.zip

Search all ZIP files with the .zip extension

*.zip *.exe

Search all ZIP files with the .zip and .exe extension.

*.zip "new data.exe"

Search all ZIP files with the .zip extension and new data.exe

 

Search ZIP files

Searches inside ZIP archives.

 

Unicode for binary files

The text is treated as unicode when searching binary files. The program does this by default, irrespective of this setting, if the text cannot be represented as an ansi string.

 

Text fields in order

You can select this option if your logical search contains a search proximity. If this option is selected, then your logical search is evaluated in the order given.

 

Example

one AND two with the search proximity set to 1 line, will find all the lines that contain both one and two in that order, but not two and one.
