Find files containing text, pdf- is it possible? [CLOSED]

[semper]

Search for items using mask: *.pdf
Containing text: any text

I can use Finder, but Is this possible in Nimble?

Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.

Yes, it's possible.

Great But how? I've tried many times but can't get it to work.

[JayB]

That's how I do it.

Yes, this i how I do it too, but Nimble can not find the files that Finder do!

NC does a direct text search inside files with minimal transformations, which means that this sequence of characters, in a selected encoding (UTF-8 by default), with is a selected case sensitivity, is not present in the files.
Finder likely uses Spotlight under the hood, which is a completely different story, as it does text extraction specifically from different file formats depending on the format.

Ok, thanks for the clarification
