Total Commander

Good day,
I often search within Word documents, looking for short strings, for example special delimiters -- {0>, and TC finds them everywhere, producing many false hits. It would be nice to have a check box which would limit the search to the range of data representing the text actually displayed in the Office apps.
Thank you.

Unfortunately Office xml documents are very complex, therefore I prefer to search all the included xml files to not miss any text.

I use 2 methods for this purpose.
1. Everything content indexing
2. The Oracle Content Access library with the TC PCREsearch content plug-in.
Both ways the real content is searched, but the Everything search is of course faster.

This is not a winning attitude.
I have just performed a search for a term beginning with "wrap" in 13 MS Word documents, TC put them all to the list box, the term was found in 2.
If you ignore a constructive feedback from a dediceted user expressed clearly and concisely, you should retire.

UPD:
Translation software packages are all able to retrieve text from Office documents.
An Office document is a ZIP archive of a folder structure where all teh text is in XML file placed in one folder.
I clearly have an impression that you lost interest in TC.

Thank you, but I did not understand anything. Please don't explain in greater detail, I need a simple duct tape solution, not anything clever.
