How to search for files by their content?
How can I perform a search in windows 7, where he seeks in fact the content of the files? Let's say I had a text called "mytext.txt" document and in this file was the text 'Hello World '... How to make windows 7 return "mytext.txt" so if I did a search for the word 'Hello '?
Hi angry bananas.
The default function of Windows 7 search is such that it searches the text in the file name and content; in the file properties, such as in tags and. Therefore, in your scenario once you start to type Hello, you should get mytext.txt into the search results.
Please see these articles using Windows for more information on the search for Windows 7.

How to search for files in a subfolder
Hello
I'm trying to get the files of WebCenter Content11.1.1.8 using RIDC (see the code example).
IdcClientManager Manager = new IdcClientManager();
IdcClient idcClient = manager.createClient ("idc://localhost:4444"); ")
UserContext IdcContext = new IdcContext (username, passwoord); fill the binder with the settings
DataBinder binding = idcClient.createBinder ();
binder.putLocal ("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");
binder.putLocal ("QueryText", "dDocFullText < contains > < qsch >" + "blah" + "< /qsch >");
binder.putLocal ("SearchEngineName", "oracletextsearch");
binder.putLocal ("ResultCount", "20");
ServiceResponse response = idcClient.sendRequest (userContext, binder);
DataBinder serverBinder = response.getResponseAsBinder ();
binding = response.getResponseAsBinder ();
ResultSet DataResultSet = binder.getResultSet ("SearchResults"); loop through the results
System.out.println ("found documents:" + "\n" + "");
{for (DataObject dataObject: {resultSet.getRows ())}
System.out.println ("title:" + dataObject.get ("dDocTitle"))
+ "," + "Is:" "+ dataObject.get ("dDocAuthor").
+ "," + "Extension is: '" + dataObject.get ("venture"));
System.out.println("");
}
Documents found:
The title is: blah blah, author is: jcooper, Extension is: docx
The title is: search for text in the document, author is: jcooper, Extension is: txt
The title is: is a blah document, the author is: jcooper, Extension is: txt
Now that I get all the files in the WebCenter. My question is how can I get the files in a subfolder. (by example/folders/my folder/Test1)?
Do you have any advice?
Kind regards
RigassiHi Rigassi,
The text of the query should be changed and made like this:
binder.putLocal ("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");
binder.putLocal ("QueryText', '(xParentFolders '074D286A703B4082DCC6CAF4C86D0853'
) ( test )');binder.putLocal ("SearchEngineName", "oracletextsearch");
binder.putLocal ("AdvSearch", "True");
binder.putLocal ("ResultCount", "20");
Try this, it will list the content items that are present in the parent folder and its subfolders.
Thank you
Srinath

How we can search for files in the Webcenter 11.1.1.6 content?
Hello
I have a requirement for a client where they want to use the advanced search of the AAU to search for files (not articles).
Version: Webcenter content 11.1.1.6
Contribution using folder_g files
I founded a model pre-built for searching for files. The name is COLLECTION_GET_SEARCH_FORM
Here is an example of this model and it works
http://euedocs.emersonprocess.co.UK/idcplg?IdcService=COLLECTION_GET_SEARCH_FORM
When I try this service on my own content instance Webcenter, the model is loaded. But when I click on search, nothing happens.
The drop-down lists containing ' Contains/pairing /...» "they are also not responsible.

Please, give me an advise how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)
Hello! Sorry for the troubling.
Please, give me an advice how to search for a number in a file xml (as3.0)
Thank you!
My answer was based on your question to find numbers anywhere in the data to an xml file. If you know that the data is digital data and the names of the nodes that contains this data, you do not have to check the characters and can only check numerical data using string values...
function searchXMLFile(Event:MouseEvent):void
{
searchDisplay.text = "";
var pageList:XMLList = xmlFileToSearch.receipt.number;
searchDisplay.text = "false";
for (var i: int = 0; i< pagelist.length();="">
{If (pageList [i] == searchInput.text) {}
searchDisplay.text = "true";
}}
}Even if you are looking for individual digital characters in the previous code that you would have always done by a false exit due having the line 'false' always cancel the real line...
If (t.toString () .indexOf (m_sSearchTerm)! = - 1).
{
searchDisplay.text = "true";
}
searchDisplay.text = "false"; This will always overwrite the textfield

This script should select the documents in the selected files. Make sure that the top-level folder is selected before running the script.

The folder has disappeared from the sidebar and I get each of the other folders, but not luck. Yet when I do a search of bookmarks for entries individually, they appear. But it is essential that find the folder to my work because I don't remember all items [300 or more] and their URLs. The search function does not search for files, which is a real problem.
Hi, you could have a look at your profile. Or, have you tried to restore from backup - open bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > restore.

search for file names with tilde character
trying to locate all the file name containing the tilde (~) character. It is obviously special for the search as a search looking for files with this character corresponds to each file. I can't find the mechanism to quote the tilde so that Windows will search for files containing the tildes in name literally.
You expect to be easy to find the answer, but then I found others asking the question. I can't find the answer.

Search for files based on the flow
Hi, I would like to be able to search for specific files mp3 and m4a files based on their bitrate, IE search for files with a bitrate to 128KBit.
I don't know, but is it possible under Windows Vista, or do I need another tool to do?
Thank you
Hello trotskyicepick,
Windows Search does not include a searchable property for the bitrate, but Windows Explorer can indicate the rate on view Mp3 files. For example, you can sort and filter the search results by bit rate and group your files in this way.
For example, if the files in question are in your folder of music and its subfolders, click music in the left pane of Windows Explorer. Now paste this query into the search engine:
ext:MP3
Now, right-click on a column heading in the right pane and add the property of spleen in the view. Click the bitrate column header to sort the display rate. Now click the drop down menu on the same header and choose "near CD quality' in the list. This filter the search results so that only files recorded to 128 or more appear.
Unfortunately, the Vista does not support the M4a format, so speeds of transmission of these files are not visible in Windows Explorer.

You can search for files, types of files, folders, programs, text contaiined in the folders or files, but not for designs - there is no way to enter a design search.
