Simple *.csv does not work on some files

Post by quarkz »

Hi,

I have a filename "t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0.csv"

I tried to search using *.csv and it can't work. Other csv files are found though.

May I know why? If I search using t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0 instead, the file is found.

So is this a bug or some settings which I must change?

Thanks!

Please check for any search modifiers shown in the status bar on the right.



Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Hi yes.

I have checked and attached an image.

I have also used defaults in the search option. Also changed the wildcard options but no diff

What is shown in Everything when you search for:

t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0

Thanks for the screenshot.

I wonder what is going on..
Maybe some trailing diacritic?



Does the following search find your file:

Code: Select all

t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0 *.csv


If not, does the following search find your file:
Does the following search find your file:

Code: Select all

t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0 *.csv*
-This would indicate some non-printing character at the end of csv



Please try forcing a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.

Hi,

Both show the file.

What does that mean?

Do I need to force a rebuild?

No need to rebuild.
I tried to search using *.csv and it can't work.
Back to the main issue, if you search for:

*.csv

Is the following file in your results?
t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0

How are you sorting results?

I would need to see some debug logs to try to work out the issue.

Could you please send some debug logs:
  • Type in the following search:
    /debug_log
  • Press ENTER in the search box.
  • Search for:
    *.csv
  • Press ENTER in the search box.
  • Type in the following search:
    /restart
  • Press ENTER in the search box.
  • On the Bug Report page, could you please upload your: %Temp%\Everything Debug Log.txt

Does
t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0 ext:csv
find the file name?

Copy (from within Everything or Windows Explorer) & paste the filename, t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0.csv into the forum (as it might "show" something)?

yes it does.

But once I use *.csv, it disappears. Btw, similar file but with slightly different filenames can be found by *.csv, like:

t1_1_r1_0.8_AoA1_0.262_t2_0.8_AoA2_0.csv
t1_1_r1_1_AoA1_0_t2_1_AoA2_0.csv

I have even rebuilt the database.

I tried to type "/debug_log" in the search box and press enter, but nothing happens. 0 objects found. May I doing it correctly?

That's normal.

/debug_log shouldn't find any files.

Everything will start debug logging in the background.



Please try your *.csv search
  • Search for:
    *.csv
  • Press ENTER in the search box.
  • Search for:
    t_0.8_r_0.8_AoA_0_t2_0.8_AoA2_0 *.csv
  • Press ENTER in the search box.
  • Type in the following search:
    /restart
  • Press ENTER in the search box.
  • On the Bug Report page.
  • Click the browse... button.
  • Type in the following and click Open:
    %Temp%\Everything Debug Log.txt
  • Click Send.

Hi,

I'm just back from my holiday and when I tried again, I found that I can find the file now using *.csv. Not sure what happened. I did rebuild the database but I remember it wasn't working even after that.

Anyway, thanks for all the help.
