Tools Options Exclude "Exclude files" *.tmp :: not working ??

[YxT]

Admittedly I'm new to voidtools Everything, and here's is my question.
If in "Tools > Options > Exclude", at "Exclude files:", I enter "*.tmp" (no quotes), and subsequently we enter exactly the same ("*.tmp", without quotes) into the filter expression box just below "File Edit View etc." (the dropdown menu bar), then out of a total of 2.963.923 objects my AX3960 Windows 10 Pro '21H2 x64 computer returns 1154 objects, all having names ending on ".tmp" indeed, such as :::
:::
GUR5C4E.tmp from E:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Update\1.3.36.132\Recovery
IEA9C.tmp from C:\Windows\Temp
msdownld.tmp from E:\Windows
TCD654B.tmp from E:\Users\Ys\AppData\Local\Temp
tw-1544-2294-10850e.tmp from E:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local
ZAPBC92.tmp from C:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\Temp
ZAPC238.tmp from F:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v2.0.50727_64\Temp
and a great many more of those.
:::
So my question is : how can this be, to have so many ".tmp" files found and listed, whereas in fact I intended to exclude all "*.tmp" files from Everything's index in the first place ??
If on the other hand I exclude all "¨.obj" or e.g. "*.Lnk;*.sys;*.url;*.obj;*.txt", and next search for those, then no ".obj" at all will be found, or no ".Lnk", no ".sys", ".url", etc., which means the whole "Exclude files" mechanics apparently do work indeed, only not for "*.tmp" ??
Is any explanation possible for this behaviour ?

These are folders.

Exclude files will only exclude files.


To also exclude folders containing *.lnk and *.tmp:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Click Add filter....
• Type in the following filter:

  Code: Select all

  *.lnk

• Click OK.
• Click Add filter....
• Type in the following filter:

  Code: Select all

  *.tmp

• Click OK.
• Click OK.

Great ! And I should have seen this from the icons preceding object names, where I can clearly distinguish Folders from e.g. text files. Thanks a million for this most effective software tool, and for helping me to learn a little every day.
VoidTools Everything will no doubt be of significant assistance to me. I first heard of it in a computer club meeting months ago, then a few days ago a discussion on ramensoftware.com's Textify page finally has lead me to effectively installing and running VoidTools Everything.
