Hi David,
Today I did a quite simple search "602 802 pdf", which should show me all filenames that include 602 and 802 and pdf.
In addition to finding those, however it also captured filenames such as 2019-08-02 (portion 8-02) or 2016-02-12 (portion 6-02).
Is this a bug or am I missing something, or do I have to adjust a parameter in the options menu?
Thank you for giving us this great and indispensable tool.

Re: Standard search is capturing wrong info
Hi! Using the latest 1.5a alpha version 1281.
Unchecked ignore punctuation and that did the track. Thank you.
Noticed that certain settings are lost when I restart Everything.
Under View I have set to Details, however since a few days ago, when I start the program it reverts back to extra large thumbnails.
It also checks the option ignore punctuation, even though I had unchecked it before ending the program.
Is there a dedicated save setting option ?

Re: Standard search is capturing wrong info
If Everything is not saving your settings, please make sure Everything is installed correctly:
Please check your Home settings under Tools -> Options -> Home (This is the options page for your default search settings).
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
- Click OK.

Re: Standard search is capturing wrong info
Can you add a detection and warning for that @void?
Detect that the .ini is located in the Program Files or a write-protected path, issue a warning to the user that "your settings may not be saved from this session."
Add a warning_settings_write_protected_ignore=1 option to the .ini for administrators who intend this write protected behavior.

Re: Standard search is capturing wrong info
There already is.Can you add a detection and warning for that @void?
Thanks for the suggestion.
If access is denied when writing to the Everything.ini a prompt is shown to enable this option.
However, it's only shown when you exit Everything.
If you shutdown your computer it is not shown.
Setting the Everything.ini as read-only will also prevent Everything from saving to this file.
