Case Sensitivity

Post by zonetrooperex »

Unless I'm confused there seems to be an issue with case sensitivity (using case:).

I'm running Version 1.5.0.1329a (x64).

If I run:

Code: Select all

file: case: regex: "Games"
or

Code: Select all

file: case: "Games"
The results contain lowercase and non-matching files like:
  • nvgamesr.dll
  • UserGameStatsSchema_563560.bin

In this case, case: needs to be "attached" to what you want to case - that is, in case you're looking for your wanted answer.
file: case:regex:"Games"

file: case:"Games"

Space in Everything means AND

Everything sees:

file: case: regex: "Games"

as:

file:<all-files-and-folders> AND case:<all-files-and-folders> AND regex:<all-files-and-folders> AND "Games"



Use a :: prefix to enable search modifiers globally, for example:

file: ::case: ::regex: "^Games"
