Hi,

I'm evaluating FoxTrot and have created an index on my minecraft related folders, many of which contain plain text files.

I am trying to search for files containing a string (that I want to run a find/replace on, in a text editor).

I know that at least one of the files I need is launcher_profiles.json, and I was hoping that FoxTrot would help me locate any other files that also contain the string.

I'm searching for the word 'custom', which appears in launcher_profiles.json as '/Users/<user>/Applications/minecraft/local/custom games/<game>'

But FoxTrot is not finding launcher_profiles.json, or any other json file.

My search criteria are

- Contents, any metadata or file name
- Includes at least one of the words
- All indexed locations

What am I missing here?

Many thanks,

Nic
