Wildcard

[harryray2]

I've just been trying out wizfile, I can't say I'm over impressed with it, I still prefer Everything which I've been using for a long time. The only advantage of having wizfile on my system is for wildcard searches.

If, for example, I enter *.dav with Everything I get the files ending with dav but it also shows files with dav in the middle of the file name. It also supports ? wildcard.

Am I possibly doing something wrong in Everything when I'm using wildcards?

Thanks.

When using wildcards in Everything, the entire filename is matched (see globbing).

To match wildcards any where in the filename:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Search tab on the left.
• Uncheck Match whole filename when using wildcards.
• Click OK.

Thanks, it works but it's when the match whole filename box is checked (ticked)

ext:dav

*.dav should be giving you the same results too?

It also supports ? wildcard.
Thanks.

So does Everything
For example, searching for: *.pd? returns .PDF and .PDB files on my system
