Functional recommendations

[hmx540211269]

I want to add functionality so that it can be like "windows search". For example, "ABC-123" can be found by searching "ABC 123", and "ABC 123" can be found by searching "ABC-123".

Thank you for your suggestion hmx540211269,

Everything currently matches punctuation.

Everything will match files named ABC-123 with the following search:

abc 123

If this is not working for you, please make sure regex is disabled under the Search menu.



A feature to ignore punctuation in filenames is in development.
If you would like to try this now, please check out the Everything 1.5 alpha.

To ignore punctuation in filenames:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Search menu, check Ignore Punctuation.

To paste text without punctuation:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Search box, press Ctrl + Shift + V.

Ignore punctuation in Everything 1.5

I didn't turn on regex, It remains closed by default.

[void]

Is the following search:

abc 123

not finding your files named:

abc-123

?

The picture below is what I said.

I will consider an option to ignore punctuation in the search.

Thank you for your suggestion and screenshot.


For now, please type abc 123 without the dash or manually remove the dash if you are pasting the search text.
