Can hazel look into the content of text documents? For instance, I want to have Hazel look for all documents that have the word "photoshop" in them and then file them. Can I do this, and if so, how?

I am actually working on this now for the next point release. The problem is that the "Text Content" Spotlight attribute doesn't work as-is because it's the one Spotlight property that is treated differently than all the others.

It will probably be a new attribute called "Contents" that you can check whether it contains/does not contain whatever text. Note that it will be using Spotlight so if you can't search on it in Spotlight, Hazel probably won't see it either.

Thanks for the update. Yeah, I tried the "Text Content" which is what I thought would do the trick. Anyway, I'm looking forward to your next update.
