Title: search files
Post by: Jean on April 12, 2020, 13:31:21

Hi folks,
What am i doing wrong, i'm trying to search a map for filenames with the word 'on', but it shows me wrong results. Explorer shows the files are there.

That in correct, all the matches contains "on", if you want to match the word on. Then you need space around it. But spaces are a separate for multiple words to match.
But as it say under the text box. Use quote around it if you need spaces in the word that should be matched, like " on "  (And include the " )

sorry for the fuzz, it's working now. Dunno why it didn't before.

Mathias, i get the error again, look at the pic, it's supposed to find Adams*.ab, as you can see the file is present but the search results are empty. Explorer finds the file. It's the only search criterium, i don't see what i'm doing wrong.
Then i switched to normal mode, did the same search and now it finds them all.
Can't make much sense of it, seems very random.

Change "namepart" to "fullname"

Namepart match only against the filename without extensions part..  "MyFile.txt" (Fullname)  and "MyFile" (Namepart)
