It may depend on how you have named the file, if you have named the file exactly "test file.txt", search for:

Otherwise, please try:

:\$recycle.bin\ display-name:<test file.txt>

Wildcards, no.

Regex, yes.

To match numbers only, please try the regex: modifier with \d to match a digit (0-9).

For example:

regex:s\d\de\d\d

The following also works, which is a little easier to read:

regex:s[0-9][0-9]e[0-9][0-9]

The default setting for winmm is 0.

spooky might have accidentally run /winmm=1 from the search box?

Would just indexing the names be OK?

eg:

I'll look into an option to do this.

Thank you for your feedback Fred0815, The next alpha update will show the full path being scanned in the tooltip. The path can be really long so its best not to fill the status bar all the time. The initial index scan should only occur once. There is an option to do a background scan to allow you to...

For wildcards to regex, please try:
replacing * with .*
and replacing . with \.

https://voe.*\..*/.*

Looks like they support group captures too, so maybe something like:

https://voe.*\..*/(.*)

and then use \1 (or maybe they use $1?) in "Redirect to" to recall the text matched inside ()

Thanks raccoon,

I have cleaned up the announcement post.
The 1.5 announcement post has always linked to the latest 1.5 alpha.

Once Everything 1.5 becomes beta I will create a link on the main downloads page.

Thank you for the bug report brianbriggs,

I'm not sure what you mean.

If there's any bug fixes for Everything 1.4 I will also fix the issue in 1.5.
