Folder MASK when searching FILES

Post by suturn »

Hi!
I know about cool feature - use "\" after name (some word) to searching in specified folders by this name. Then enter part of searched filenames.
But in this situations I can't use the FOLDER name MASK.

For Example:
I can find files with "metal" in names from any folder named as "foley":

foley\ metal

But can't find this files in folders that contains "foley" in names (e.g. "Foley crashes" ,"Hand Foley", "great foley sounds" and e.t.)

Are there some methods for use FOLDER MASK?

Do you get better results when you disable Match whole filename when using wildcards?

tthanks for answer,BUT there isn't difference.
If I uncheked "Match whole filename when using wildcards" I can find folder that I typed (e.g. "foley" as whole word, and can't find in folders that have additional words)
If it uncheked we have next situation:
It Does not pay attention, do I enter any additional characters such as "*". But can't find complex names containing the entered word.

To search for a folder with "foley" somewhere in the name, search for: \*foley*\
to find files containg "metal" in the name somewhere, search for metal.
Combined:

Code: Select all

\*foley*\   metal
Works on my system ...

It's WORK

Hm... Sorry
It seems that I wasn't attentive and did not notice but everything was WORKING!
With this searching method: folder names (in "path" column) are NOT HIGHLIGHTED with word that was typed.

AND I use EverythingVersion 1.3.4.686 (x64).
