Why no hits for this?

Post by terrypin »

The file
Save As PNG.PspScript
is in the folder
C:\Users\terry\My PSP8 Files\Scripts-Trusted\

So why would a search (regardless of case) for
C:\Users\terry\My PSP8 Files\Scripts-Trusted\*png*
produce zero hits?

Everything will break the search:
C:\Users\terry\My PSP8 Files\Scripts-Trusted\*png*
into the following search terms:
C:\Users\terry\My AND PSP8 AND Files\Scripts-Trusted\*png*

The Files\Scripts-Trusted\*png* search term will try to find files with the matching whole path and filename.
However, it will never match any results, as no whole path and filename will match this.
For example:
The Files\Scripts-Trusted\*png* does not match the whole path and filename C:\Users\terry\My PSP8 Files\Scripts-Trusted\example.png

Please try searching with double quotes:
"C:\Users\terry\My PSP8 Files\Scripts-Trusted\*png*"

-or-

Disable match whole filename when using wildcards:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Search tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Match whole filename when using wildcards.
