How to search in directory with fullwidth slash "/"

Post by kesdoputr »

Hello, i'm using Everything-1.4.1.1022.x64 with Windows 10 Home 22H2 x64

I have some directory name with fullwidth slash
But i can't see any search result when i want to search in the directory.

Result in normal directory

I have tried double quote "" but seems no use, thank you. :D

Try turning off Search -> Match Diacritics for this search query.

I suspect this is a bug.

I'm on 1.5, but I would think it should "just work" in 1.4 too?
See if toggling diacritics makes any difference? (Search | Match Diacritics)

Everything is taking a shortcut here to try and match your absolute path.
However, Everything ends up failing to match the existing folder as /is being treated as path separator.



Please try the following search:

path:startwith:"Z:\tc\AS/MR\"
(The path:startwith: overrides an absolute path lookup)

-or-

"Z:\tc\AS/MR"
(Leave the trailing slash out)

This will be fixed in Everything 1.5.

What happens?

I see there's a few issues with Everything treating /as /, but not as a path separator.
I've made a note to remove this mapping for the next db version change.

path:startwith: seems work, thanks for your reply. :D
