Is there a way to search for characters at the beginning of a file name without using Regex?
I didn't see anything to do this in the Advanced search dialogue.

Another method:

-Using wildcards will match the whole filename.

Does this also apply to Everything version 1.4?
(I'm not using ver.1.5 until it goes to beta.)

Re: Search for characters at beginning of filename
match_start_of_filename_with_caret is Everything 1.5 or later.
