How to search inside a preview pane?

I use Find Files Content a lot. Now, after having retrieved a list of files how can I open a preview pane with the words I imputed in the Content tab already highlighted?
Is this somewhat possible?

This is not possible.

Many previews are supplied by independent third-parties over which XYplorer has no control and the design of which do not support such a feature. These third-party controls may have their own search capabilities but there is no standard interface XY can use to activate them.

For those formats which XYplorer previews natively, such as text files, there is currently no search capabilities which would be required to achieve this.

Sorry!


EDIT: Just to add the ability to search within a text file preview was recently requested in the thread Find (Ctrl+F) in Quick File View for text files.
