Does anyone how I can search in all eventfiles for the appearance of a word at the same time, instead of using notepad's search function on each individual document? The windows search-function can find words in documents, but seems only to be able to read .txt files and not .eue files. Is there a way to tell the searchprogram to also search .eue files, or will I have to convert all eventfiles to .txt files manually?

I did now find such a list and when I selected "all files and folder" the search function still only found .txt files. In the list of possible files types to search I also did find a EUII event file type or anything like that.

What did you write as a File name to search and as a Phrase in file?

I searched for the phrase "italian"
I have tried both no filename and *.eue as filenames, neither yielded results (in non-txt files, the no name resulted in the scenarion setup files of all nations with italian culture)

Try to search for "id" phrase in *.eue files. Is THIS working?

I did, and it finds the files of the TimurID empire, the BhamanIDs and the SavafID empire as well as the slIDermovement events (I'm playing AGCEEP) so even though it is supposed to look into the files themselves, it does not appear to look beyond the title.

Which windows are you actually using? It's only to which version I must direct.

I have windows XP, and have updated it to see if that was the problem just this afternoon.

(by the way, thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it)

OK, I think I have it. The first search will look only to the file names. After you get the (empty) results select "Change the file name or key words" on the left side. Keep the keyword and check if "Search whole file" is selected instead of "Search only file names". Click on SEARCH and wait for results. This must work.

These results will be from all files regardless what you write to "file names". So I recommend you to specify the searching location as much as possible.

No, still does not work. If I search for "id" I get .txt files with id in them and .eue files with id in their name.

So I tried to search for EUE files in XP and as you said it dosn't work. Hmm, that's surprising, the Win 98 haven't got this problem. You can now do 2 things: reinstall XP to W98 :( , or change windows register ;) .
In XP the search utillity is able to search keywords only in files, which the system know (as document I suppose). If you haven't fear of changing register, do this (I tried it and it is safe):
1) run REGEDIT from c:\Windows
2) open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT on the left side
3) you can now see a list of all file types (still on the left side)
4) find .inc file type and (if is '+' before the .inc) open it
5) there should be a folder named PersistentHandler, click on it
6) right click on the line in main window and select CHANGE
7) copy the value by Ctrl+C and close the dialog window
8) find the .eue file type and click on it
9) right click on the line in main window, select change
10) delete the value there and click OK
11) right click on .eue and select New -> String value
12) name it as PerceivedType and right click on it, select change
13) as value write: text
13) right click on .eue and select New -> Key
14) name it as PersistentHandler and open it
15) right click on the line in main window and select change
16) as value paste the value you had copy from .inc (it should looks like this: {5e941d80-bf96-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb})

Now the .eue in your register should look like this one:

Register.jpg


17) close REGEDIT and restart your PC

Icons of EUE files will look then as icons of TXTs.
Windows search is now able to find any keyword in EUE files.
