The preview handlers are third-party DLLs (i.e. the Excel preview handler is written by Microsoft), and they just straight display the file. They don't give us any options to highlight or manipulate the way the file is displayed in the preview pane.

Sorry! ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-inside-excel-issue/?ID=e3a3d5c4-cacb-473c-8f04-4abd23a37395#10 Tue, 26 Jul 2016 07:44:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-inside-excel-issue/?ID=e3a3d5c4-cacb-473c-8f04-4abd23a37395#10 FileSeek here is it,
i was expecting the results highlighted in XLS
seems not what i was looking for or expecting.

are you guys going to update the App. to highlight those results for example in the future?

Could you send me a screenshot of your FileSeek window after doing a search? ]]> https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-inside-excel-issue/?ID=e3a3d5c4-cacb-473c-8f04-4abd23a37395#8 Sat, 23 Jul 2016 07:59:55 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/search-inside-excel-issue/?ID=e3a3d5c4-cacb-473c-8f04-4abd23a37395#8 FileSeek Dear Jon,

inside it, i have only ONE EXCEL FILE (.XLS not XLSX)

i installed the Office Filter Pack, and using Office 2007 installed
the file was created in Office 2003

I tried the DEMO ver. was very happy with it, IT FINDS what am looking for inside EXCEL FILE
BUT

In DEMO i was expecting the App. to HIGHLIGHT the found results, but it says have to register to highlight results in BLUE

I bought it, tried it, NOT HIGHLIGHTING anything.

As i said before, i have more than 4000 records inside, what i wanted is to search for records
and get the COMPLETE RAW of found matched result(s)

i tried the demo ver. and i liked it, and i just bought it now, all what i wanted to have is the following:

* I have One Excel File with ONE sheet, it has more than 4000 records
i just wanted to Search for a Specific TEXT inside it, and the Software should show
the LINE(s) containing this matched text.

all goes OK, except the last part, which is filtering results, it seems its not even highlighting
my text.

Note: My excel is 2003 (.XLS) not even the new one

thank you ]]>
