I saw the thread on "Search files on contents does not work for CP437 box characters" but I have a case where the search will not match a simple word.
I have a compound search where I have a name filter and a contents filter. The name filter alone works properly and selects 172 results in a folder of about 3000 files. When I add the text for a Contents filter, there are zero results.
The Contents search term is "Pipeline" (without quotes)
No other filters other than Name and Contents are used.
I know there is at least one file in the folder with the word "Pipeline" - I've opened it and searched internally.
The file containing the text is PowerPoint PPTX. The Mode is Normal, The Type is Text, match case and other checkbox options are not checked.
In the matching file, the word "Pipeline" appears in the title of slide 17.
Am I missing something in how Contents search works, or is this a a bug?
