(I am not sure DO is the right app, either, for similar reasons, but it does at least offer the ability to record searches using windows own systems, so it at least has a work around.but the I like the tagging system less) I find the tagging a bit clunky, but I could probably get used to it.but if I can't find the files I want to tag then it misses the point for me. If I am going to pay $40 for something, it has to at least match what the native File Explorer can do. It is starting to look as if this is not the app for me. So,I am not sure this is a filter issue for XYPlorer, at least a far that is concerned. The other app I am trialling is Directory Opus, which has the same problem as XYplorer in that I can't get it to read the contents of PDF files, but DO *can* read the contents of a Libre Office file, *.odt. Thanks for the response.interesting to see it can, or at least could work with PDFs, but sadly doesn't really take me any further forward. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer as to what I am doing wrong, I attach a screen capture, if this helps, together with a screen capture from a File Explorer search on the same content. Just to be explicitly clear, the PDF file I am using for my search is text searchable both internally and by File Explorer. There may issues with other files, I don’t know because at this point I stopped looking, because PDF are not exactly obscure file types. I can use XYExplorer to search the content of text files, but I can’t make it search either PDF or ODT files. I can search by file content on the native File Explorer, including PDF files and ODT (Libre Office) files. I have let the indexing process run its full course. I have set Indexing Option to “Index Properties and File Contents”. I have installed Adobe PDF Ifilter 11 (64 bit) and Adobe PDG Ifilter 6.0 (32 bit?). I have been researching my needs for a couple of weeks and I am down to Xyplorer and one other product, and I have both installed on a trial basis. At this stage, two things are important to me.ġ) A user friendly tagging system for all files (something like what MusicBee uses would be great) I am new to file management at this level of complexity.
