no result with "- _ ) (

hello
I was doing a search on my computer for the singer Mark Lanegan and I discovered that the names are not shown if they contain a line in the middle. For example, I have folders named Mark_Lanegan or Mark-Lanegan and Everything doesn't show them to me
I searched on the forum but it all seems very complicated
Can someone help me? Basically I would like searches to be done ignoring whether there are lines or other symbols between two or more words (or at the end of words)

Thanks ^_^

I wrote here because I use the alpha version, move the message if I made a mistake, thanks

And your search was the following?

Code: Select all

mark lanegan

Maybe one of the search modifiers (under Menu => Search) are in the way.
Make sure Match ... , Ignore .... and Regular Expressions are not enabled.
BTW: If they are enabled, this will be shown on the right side of the statusbar. Double-click to disable.

I'm posting the image with the search result and on the desktop the folders that are not displayed.
I tried to check some items but without success

Is Everything finding other files on your desktop?

Please try the following search:

shell:desktop

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.



Please make sure you are indexing your C: drive:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Select your C: drive and check Include in database.
• (is Include only set to anything?)
• Click OK.

Are these folders omitted under Index -> Organize Result Omissions?

I solved it, although there is a problem. The problem is that I realized that when I set the desktop as search it showed me files that were not there,
I understood that the indexing was not updated. I did the rescan and now it shows me the folders.

The question is, now, why did not it update automatically? However, I use the beta version, perhaps it is a problem already reported.

In any case, thank you very much for the help

A search of

mark lanegan

should find file names that match, & also directory names that match,
so should also find, Mark_Lanegan & Mark-Lanegan (assuming they are directories).

It will not find files within said directories (unless the file names happen to include 'mark lanegan') - unless you use path: (or Search -> Match Path).

mark lanegan.txt
\mark_lanegan\screaming trees.mp3
\mark-lanegan\the grave diggers song.mp3

So depending on your search you might get

mark lanegan.txt
\mark_lanegan\
\mark-lanegan\

or with Match Path enabled, you'd get

mark lanegan.txt
\mark_lanegan\
\mark-lanegan\
screaming trees.mp3
the grave diggers song.mp3
