Filter for content, how to mimic the extended search version?

[abr01]

Using content:searchitem works from the search field. However, i'd like to use a filter, that has the content: argument, but if i type the item into the search field, no results are returned. Is there a way to use a function or filter, that only requires the query in the search field?

[void]

To create a filter to search file content with the text specified in the search box:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: Content
• Change the Search to: content:search:
• Change the Macro to: mycontentmacro<search>
• Click OK.

Please note if you activate this filter, Everything will try to find content in all files...

Enabling Tools -> Options -> Results -> Hide results when the search is empty might be beneficial.
