Paths always ORed

Post by meteorquake »

Here's a quick ease of use suggestion, I'm not sure if I've mentioned before, it doesn't appear in the TODOs.

A search with two paths in it doesn't have a case use for ANDing them directly together, I would suggest that they always just OR. This would make typing a little easier especially if the | is in an odd place on the keyboard as often the case with laptops or if you move around different keyboards.

So, D:\Folder1\ D:\Folder2\ would be treated as D:\Folder1\ | D:\Folder2\

(Thank you void for all the other replies, as ever always appreciated; I always read them, but tend to avoid short rejoiners so as to keep any solutions as the final comment on a thread, and to avoid generating extra notifications :) )

I'm not keen on breaking the search logic.

It might be easier to type:

D:\Folder1\;D:\Folder2\

; = OR when used to separate paths.

Thanks for the suggestions.
