Windows 10 search finding results, not containing criteria

Post by simonmlewis »

Hi. I am looking for any files in a folder that have "http:" in them, as we are moving a site to HTTPS and want to find all those with http: in the code.

So I search for "http:" in a folder, and it finds a load of files. Yet most have no http in them at all.

So why do they show up?

Windows' search is weird :?

Editing a website? Load it into an IDE and search from there.

We just want to pop in "http:", and it find all those files with just http: among the content.
Yet, it finds those without http even showing at all!
I don't know a better way of finding all our files with that in it.
