I see a "Advanced settings" button in Tools->Settings Window. And there is no such option in the Advanced Settings window.

Edit. Found it on under the Search tab. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e#4 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 18:33:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e#4 FileSeek Thanks for the feedback! We'll put that on our list to review. ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e#3 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 13:12:25 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e#3 FileSeek Thanks. Does work.
There seems to be no consistency between the TAB Advanced and the "Tools-->Settings-->Search" preferences.
I wish that I could also set the WILDCARD handling functions in the same place.
I'm always switching those settings around, ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e#2 Fri, 01 Dec 2017 16:58:11 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e#2 FileSeek On the Advanced tab, can you try enabling the "Only show first result for each file" option? That should do what you're looking for.

Hope that helps! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e Thu, 30 Nov 2017 19:36:47 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/option-to-display-matching-file-only-one-time/?ID=805136b6-73a6-41c9-8d9d-f1e01e89889e FileSeek I might search a thousand text files for the key word "zzzz".

If ten files contain "zzzz" once and one file contains "zzzz" a hundred times, I don't want 110 entries in the results.
I want to show all the files names which contain the "key word" but the lines and count are often irrelevant.

This could also run faster because once you have a single match then it can move on to the next file.

Is there an option to do this now? ]]>
