I want to search word documents for containing a specific word in cyrillic.
When I turn file handlers ON, I get a ton of documents that DON'T contain that word.
When I turn file handlers OFF, I get NONE of the documents that DO contain that word.
Very frustrating.
Help?
PS - it doesn't depend on the cyrillic at all, with a word written in Latin letters the same thing happens.
PSS - settings: I put *.doc|*.docx in the "include files" field and I put the word I'm searching for in the "query" field. That's it.

Yes, apparently.
for doc: 2008.0.18363.1
for docx: 2006.1200.6605.1000
I just uninstalled fileseek and installed the latest version fresh, so everything should be there.
But this is a long-standing issue. And since the results seem wrong either way (that is, even with file handlers disabled), the problem seems broader.
Thoughts? Help!

Here are 4 images - 2 with file handlers, 2 without.
The "with file handlers" results has a ton of things without the searched-for string... but not things that DO have that string.

Okay, that's helpful. I note that it's an odd name for the setting - I don't see anything presented as an error, I see things presented as search results, right?
HOWEVER, and more important, note that WITHOUT file handlers, I have nothing - that is, it doesn't find things that have the search term. And WITH file handlers I'm still getting things other than temp files that DON'T have the search term. And I'm not getting all the things WITH the search term either way.

In addition, if I set "include files" to "*.doc|*.docx", I frequently get results, sometimes many, that DON'T match that requirement. Why would that be, and how can I strictly limit my search results to... to what I'm searching for?

Hello, has this bee resolved?
I can't find anything in a Word Document.
i disabled the error checking as described, and have the file handlers enabled.
I also have the "process file contents using File Handlers" checked.
Thanks.
