Hello
First question: I have the folder named Tritonal-Kinetik. When I search Tritonal Kinetik I get all folders with tritonal or Kinetik, but not the folder "Tritonal-Kinetik"
Also when I have the folder Tritonal_Kinetik
Is there the way to exclude "-", "_" and other marks whithout regex so I can just insert words into the search box?

Another question: how do I find a file whose name contains both words  "Tritonal Kinetik" and not any word?

It works for me.

Might be that you are searching using wildcard and you have no wildcards there.  Try select "contains"

If you want to match both Tritonal-Kinetik  and Tritonal_Kinetik , do a wildcard search for "Tritonal?Kinetik"
If "ANY" character at that places is not good and you only want _ or - then you have to go for regex

In you click on advanced and open the advanced find files dialog you have more control and can also set items to exclude and so on
