Windows' search vs. TC's search

[Peter]

Refreshing up an old thread ...

I have the same problem: Searching for a "text content" (e.g. "aee") in AutoCAD-DWG files brings nothing with TC, but the correct result with "Windows Explorer".

On my PC is installed a lot of Autodesk-software (AutoCAD, DWGTRueview, ...), and I know that one of these packages installed a "Search filter / Search extension". I have

Code: Select all

AcDwgFilter16.dll	AcDwgFilter	AcDwgFilter Module	16.2.54.0	16.2.54.0	Autodesk	C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AcDwgFilter\AcDwgFilter16.dll	{7F0A7E9C-4760-4db0-A875-B7BAEC4BA137}	{8E77F05A-5BE0-463a-B07C-06C16F525297}	03.08.2006 09:04:01	

Is it possible to use this feature with TC without plugins? Or only with ..?

The file may be a Unicode file. Currently you cannot search for Unicode and plain text at the same time.

I don't think so. I tried to search with "Unicode-Option" - and find nothing. At the moment I'm playing around with Plugin "Textsearch" and try to configure it - in c:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\AcDwgFilter I have

• AcDwgFilter16.dll
  AcDwgFilter16.tlb
  AcDwgFilterImp16.exe
  AcDwgFilterImp16.tlb
  ad18asm216.dll
  mfc70.dll
  mfc70loc.dll
  msvcp70.dll
  msvcr70.dll

...you will be able to do IFilter search if you associate it with DWG files. ...
