Looking for a specific term within a 7-Zip directory's filenames?
Yes, it is feasible to look within a 7-Zip folder for specific words in filenames. For example, you can search for any file containing the word "cat" regardless of its position in the name. Since files are stored with their original names during download, you don’t need additional software beyond the standard 7-Zip utility.
Yes, it is possible. You will likely need to use string manipulation and parsing tools. It’s probably best to install coding software such as Python, which could be considered an extra step. PowerShell (Microsoft, free) might already be installed, but it’s not guaranteed.
The issue appears to be more of a homework assignment type, and forum guidelines do not allow help with completed assignments.
You can still proceed by demonstrating your steps, errors encountered, and any clues about the problem. Share the messages that appear when the search fails, and suggest possible fixes.
Yes, but that relies on your specific understanding of "something extra" and the operating system or software you already use.
If this is for homework, the approach would involve parsing all files, checking their extensions, analyzing the 7z archive contents, and applying filters based on name and size. Just keep in mind that including the path would make the search results irrelevant.
I believe I encountered a setting in the search index advanced or search configuration. Navigating to Explorer, selecting view, then folder options, and including compressed files worked. @Grobe
