Bug: disabled "Match Path" list still folders

[pstein]

Assume I enter a keyword e.g.

"Windows 10"

Now I disable menu Search--->Match Path

Yes, all entries which contain "Windows 10" in the path column are vanishing.

But in the "Name" column still entries appear which contain the pattern "Windows 10" even when they are folders!

I guess always the last part of an entry like

D:\mytools\foobar\something\Windows 10 stuff\

is interpreted as filename although its a folder.

Can this be changed in the next release?

Or did I miss something?

When Match Path is disabled, Everything will match the basename only of files and folders.

When Match Path is enabled, Everything will match the full path of files and folders.


If you wish to match files only, please include the following in your search:

file:

Ok, I understand.

But this is not intuitive.

My guess is that 99% of the users would like to distinguish between

files and folders

and not between path and basename.

So may I suggest to adjust the meaning of "Match Path" accordingly?

...or introduce a new Submenu entry "Match only files"

Currently I always have to remember to search exact syntax for the prefix "file." if I need it.
This is not user friendly.

Thank you

An alternative:

• Enable Filters )Menu;View => Filters)
  Next to the search bar the Filters bar will be shown
• Select Files from the Filters drop-down list

Personal, but to me "Match Path" makes sense:
Default Everything will search for text in the filename only. With "Match Path" enabled, Everything will search for that text in the path of files too.
