" In this case, either option-double-click a file in the result list, "

option-double-click opens TextEdit and what I see there is the same as what I see in preview if that is what you mean.


"Could you copy and paste an actual example of the string you can't find with FT, but can find in TextEdit, and a screenshot of your query in FT? Are you sure there is no special characters in the string, like ASCII 0 etc?"

This is the exact string but I did replace three letters in the last name with "xxx" for privacy. The search name and name in the file were identical however.
