Re: Search Gui: comments checkbox General tab
One can create an Everything macro which searches for a text as part of file names or its content.
This is easy to use in the TC search with Everything.
The content search part of it can even use Everything content index and runs very fast.

Re: Search Gui: comments checkbox General tab
@Horst.epp this is about a file comment (e.g what is in descript.ion) not the contents of the file. As far as I know EV can't search comments.
This AutoHotkey script already works so I don't need another solution (I want a builtin solution in TC).

Re: Search Gui: comments checkbox General tab
Everything can search for the content of descript.ion files as they are simple text files.
I can even let it indexing this content.
Btw. your Autohotkey solution is not a TC build in function but, using Everything is

Re: Search Gui: comments checkbox General tab
@horst.epp of course it can search it, but it can't match the file with the comment, I have no interest in finding the "descript.ion" file, I want the file associated with the comment (if any). So finding "descript.ion" that has "cat" in it is of no value at all.
I'm not going to post any further comments, it is clear it is a very specific need for one person (me) and of no interest to anybody else.

I have solved it like this.
Shift+D opens a separate search window (Find Files (separate)) and the cursor is positioned in the "Value" field.
The TC file comment searched for can be entered.
Shift+D: em_Dateikommentare-Suche-ALLE
em_KommentarSuche_alle-Verzeichnisse_ED
em_Dateikommentare
Dateikommentare.AHK / FileComments.AHK
Gespeicherte Suche / Saved search
KommentarSuche_alle-Verzeichnisse_ED

Re: Search Gui: comments checkbox General tab
To find TC file comments that are in hidden descript.ion files
I use this bookmark in 'Everthing' 1.5a.
Bookmark/Lesezeichen in 'Everything'
'Everything' search box -> Search query:
Everything finds hidden files by default and in this case does not show the TC file comment but only the file "descript.ion".
It is therefore only possible to determine in which folder the TC file comment is located,
but not to which folder or file the TC file comment belongs.
It is still helpful if you also use the cm_SrcComments (on/off) command (Show comments (on/off)).
See: Menu "Show" > Comments ... Ctrl+Shift+F2.
