Select Topic AreaBug BodyBUG? I could be wrong, but here is an experiment that appears to show it. Files were created with content 'THE_PATTERN' starting at column 1,000 through 1,500. A fill character, 'y', precedes the content and follows the content. A script to create the test files is in the repo.
The following search expression was used. Since the 'THE_PATTERN' content is in all files, one would expect 500 files to be found.
Only 14 files were found by this search. |
