Search Syntax Box Examples.

[ShadowTiger]

In the Help > Search Syntax Help box, where it shows all of the possible syntaxes, there is something critical that is missing that would be insanely helpful to teach people how to use them.

That something is simply an example of how it would effectively be used. It can even be used categorically so there's only one example at the top of every category, and they can plug the relevant search term or filter in as needed.

So it would go from:

Code: Select all

Wildcard matching:
	*	Matches zero or more characters (except \).
	**	Matches zero or more characters.
	?	Matches one character (except \).
	The whole filename is matched when using a wildcard.

to:

Code: Select all

Wildcard matching:
Example:  Eagle[b]*[/b].jpg
	*	Matches zero or more characters (except \).
	**	Matches zero or more characters.
	?	Matches one character (except \).
	The whole filename is matched when using a wildcard.

A file path example would be amazing as well, for anyone looking to search in a specific folder.

I have updated the search syntax with a wildcard example here:

Search Syntax

This help will be merged into the main support pages and Everything -> Search Syntax.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes, sorry.
