  • Should your query be case insensitive? If so, make sure to check [case] in the [ignoring] popup menu (or use the FoxTrot query: [^{c}:Doe:^])
  • Do your files have a .txt filename extension? If they have another extension, they may be parsed by a Spotlight metadata importer on indexing. Option-click on a file in the result list (or use the [display type] popup menu in the toolbar to view the file as plain text), to show what has been indexed, which could differ to what is displayed in the preview.
