I can't directly search inside a ZIP file. However, you can extract its contents and then search those files manually.

Windows does support searching within zip archives, though the interface can be limited. If you've already narrowed down the files and opened them directly, there may not be a built-in search option. Consider extracting individual files or organizing them into separate folders for easier access.
Do you have 7-Zip installed? It allows you to open, extract files, and view contents without extraction.
You need a way to search through many subfolders for zip files containing two particular types. Instead of manually moving files, there should be a simpler method available. Short version: you're trying to find zip archives that include both of those file types.
I don't think the GUI supports this, but 7zip's command line can locate archives. 7z l -r {archive name} {file name} usually needs exact matches or wildcards, like 7z l -r archive.zip corn.png to find any file named "corn.png". For direct extraction after searching, replace 'l' with 'e'. Edited June 2, 2025 by BobVonBob Added extraction details
