It looks like we already have this on our feature request list, so I've added your vote. We'll be sure to let you know if/when we're able to implement it.

Thanks! ]]> RE: Exclude binary files from a search` https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/exclude-binary-files-from-a-search/?ID=29898bc9-e152-477c-9b44-a22a6af04a6c#3 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 23:17:20 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/exclude-binary-files-from-a-search/?ID=29898bc9-e152-477c-9b44-a22a6af04a6c#3 FileSeek I see that but was thinking there might be a flag that could be set to do that. I have a lot movies and exe's and archives on the drive I want to search. ]]> RE: Exclude binary files from a search` https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/exclude-binary-files-from-a-search/?ID=29898bc9-e152-477c-9b44-a22a6af04a6c#2 Tue, 04 Jul 2017 20:06:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/exclude-binary-files-from-a-search/?ID=29898bc9-e152-477c-9b44-a22a6af04a6c#2 FileSeek Do the binary files all have the same file extensions? If so, you can put them in the Exclude Files box, like so:

*.exe|*.bin|*.iso ]]> Exclude binary files from a search` https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/exclude-binary-files-from-a-search/?ID=29898bc9-e152-477c-9b44-a22a6af04a6c Sun, 02 Jul 2017 18:20:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/exclude-binary-files-from-a-search/?ID=29898bc9-e152-477c-9b44-a22a6af04a6c FileSeek I have a directory with many sub directories and there are a lot of binary files in it.Videos pictures archives. I want to do a search for a string but exclude the binary files and search only text files. I have done some searching here but came up empty.

TIA for the help ]]>
