How do I search the content of a file?

Question / Problem

How do I search the content of a file?

Answer / Solution

If you want to search for file content, use the prefix cont: or content: , for example:
cont:license
to search all files with the word "license" in its content.

If you prefer to use separate input fields for entering file contents as in earlier UltraSearch versions, you can also use the Query Composer on the 'Start' or 'Search' tab.

The full text search is time-consuming. It is therefore recommended to use additional search criteria like file name or file extension.
