So it would seem that (with office/PDF documents checked) File Locator Lite is seeing an 'xls' extension, and treating the file in a 'complex' way when in fact the file is really just a plain text file. But with 'office/pdf documents' unchecked, the tool fails to find content in my PDF files, which is vital for me. I also found that I can go into 'options', and in the 'Enhanced Document Searching' section, uncheck 'office/pdf documents', and then it will find the content with the extension left as. csv (literally, change the extension), it DOES find the content. When I search a directory full of such 'xls' files, File Locator Lite does not find the content (using the 'Containing Text' option). When you open an '.xls' extension file that is really just plain text/csv, excel warns you that the extension does not match the content type, but you can open it anyway. This is quite a common practice, I've found, but typically doesn't have much effect (it's a log file from a program, so I have no control over their practices). I have a plain text file (CSV format) that was erroneously given an 'xls' extension. Today I ran into a strange problem never noticed before. I'm using FileLocator Lite on my latest personal laptop, and have used Agent Ransack for years (and love it!).
