Hazel is not matching a content or filename on certain file. I have set up other similar rules and they run as expected.
Link to screenshot of rule in Dropbox with contents that should be matching:

Does it match if you change it to "contain match"?

Yes, it does. Thank you.
What is the difference between those two? I search the support docs but I could not find an explaination.
Again, AMAZING PRODUCT!!!

"Contents contain" uses Spotlight under the hood, and as a result can fail for a number of reasons. "contain match" actually directly scans the file so it bypasses any Spotlight issues.
