Advanced Content Syntax

OmniSearch does the fast indexed path/name search first. If your query includes content: syntax, it opens the remaining files and scans their contents.

ext:txt content:"invoice" Searches text files for an exact phrase.
src ext:ts;tsx content:"useEffect" Searches specific code files within paths containing "src".
ext:json utf8content:"name" Forces UTF-8 matching for modern config files.
ext:txt ansicontent:"error" Treats file as ANSI text for older logs or INI files.
ext:txt utf16content:"Event ID" Searches Windows-style UTF-16 log files.
