No. Everything works on file names. Agent Ransack works on file
contents *or* file names. Agent Ransack is obviously better for
contents, since Everything doesn't do that, but Everything is *much*
faster (as I'm sure you know) for file names.

Does Everything search file contents?

Yes, "Everything" can search file content with the content: search function.
File content is not indexed, searching content is slow.

It seems that the best way to think of Everything is
as a modified Explorer program, while AR is a search
program.

I had never thought of Explorer as a search program. Probably because
(to me anyway) it's UI (for that function) is very non-intuitive.
