Full-Text Search
Find text in all files of an archive without extracting it, with file, line and match.
Looking for an error message or a keyword in an archive with hundreds of log files? Full-text search finds every line that contains the term.
How to search
- Click in the search field at the top (⌘F) and enter the term.
- Below the search field, next to Search in, switch from Names to Contents.
Archydes reads through the archive once without extracting anything, and lists every match with the file, line number and highlighted term. Case doesn’t matter.
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| View the file | Double-click, ↩ or Space |
| Go to the file’s folder | Right-click › Show in Archive |
What’s searched
- All text files: logs, source code, configuration, CSV, Markdown and the like.
- Binary files, archives inside the archive and encrypted files whose password hasn’t been entered yet are skipped and counted in the status bar at the bottom.
- At most 5000 matches in total and 500 per file; beyond that, Archydes tells you there are more.
With umlauts and accents, the search ignores differences in spelling only partly. If in doubt, search for part of the word without special characters.
