The Text Query engine is wildcard by default. Please let me know how that goes and we'll go from there.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#5 Fri, 21 Dec 2018 20:53:14 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#5 FileSeek Changing Advanced settings makes no difference - zero results. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#4 Fri, 21 Dec 2018 20:48:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#4 FileSeek Here are 2 more screen shots of settings ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#3 Fri, 21 Dec 2018 20:47:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#3 FileSeek So I think possibly something else is not set up correctly. I get no search results from the tool at all, no matter what I search for. The configuration is set up as recommended, screen shots attached. The tool also doesn't see the zip files in the selected directory. I attached a view of the Windows directory I am searching, then an view of what the tool shows as available folders in the directory - missing the zip files. I am set up to use the zip file handler. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#2 Thu, 20 Dec 2018 15:10:06 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-zip-archives-for-filenames/?ID=4b029cf6-fc92-4e4f-8df0-c39749def649#2 FileSeek On the Advanced tab, make sure that "Process File Contents Using File Handlers" is enabled, then put the text you want to search for in the Query box on the Search tab. The "Include Files" should be a wildcard for the files you want to search (e.g. *.zip)

If you still run into any trouble, please let me know.

I have a specific need to be able to search multiple zip archives for specific file names. I also installed the plugin for zip files, however in my initial testing I cannot figure out how to make this work. Is this functionality not possible? ]]>
