Cannot distinguish between similar unicode characters

Post by cruisermaxx »

I find the search with any Unicode as U+002D (- hyphen), U+2013 (– en dash), U+2014 (— em dash) have the same results.
So why Everything can't distinguish them?

Thank you all!

Prefix your search with diacritics: to match the dash exactly.

For example:

diacritics:–

diacritics:—



-or-

Enable Match diacritics from the Search menu.

Otherwise, Everything will treat all dashes equally.
