There is something wrong with the modifiers

Post by vsub »

I'm using the newest beta and this for example
folder:"D:\Video\" !Op | folder: DVD
don't display anything while 649b displayed everything correctly.

If I remove everything after OR,then it displays the D:\Video folder and excludes folders that contains Op

I have got this wrong again, AND should have higher precedence. Fixed for the next update...

Everything should be (the standard):
A || B && C ≡ A || (B && C)

But it is currently:
A || B && C ≡ (A || B) && C

For now, please use grouping:

Code: Select all

folder:<"D:\Video\"  !Op> | <folder:  DVD>

Ok...and,it looks like I only need to add <> only around the first search filter

btw this child: modifier looks like really useful function :)

Please, by all means, make it optionable in the settings. It's impossible to use a file searcher like that, it's wrong. "And" should have lower priority than OR. In programming it is usually maybe higher, but here even the nature of the AND operator, being a space, hints that it is for dividing the blocks.
EXE|RAR NET
(EXE|RAR) NET quite natural
EXE|(RAR NET) strange.

Added to my TODO list.
