Adding Recycle Bin to search

[nagan]

I made a search for discussions and could not gather much. I wonder if at some time Recycle bin was part of search and results. Can it be brought in as a separate inclusion , esp if the files in Recycle Bin were huge , it could help to restore if any file were casually deleted.

When moving files to the recycle bin they are packed into a container file and given a new random name.

Explorer will display the corrent ''display names'' of these items instead of their filenames.

Everything could display the ''display name'' too, but it would not be efficient to search this information.

Certainly yes and in most case not functional at all as the handling of files in Recycle bin is totally different. What I was requesting is some sort of special search---- /recycle bin could yield files only in recycle bin , and the context menu can have only restore(perhaps not) , file info only.

What about a filter with the following search?

Code: Select all

*\$RECYCLE.BIN\*

All the context menu items should work for recycle bin objects.
The only difference is open will show a detailed properties dialog.

Thank You. It does work except that it would be better if the display name is put up.

The problem here is searching for the display name would be extremely slow.

The user might want to search for $asdkjha since that is the physical name of the file.
I think it might be too confusing to get a search result that doesn't match your search.
I will consider this an option.

What might be better is I could add another column ''Display Name'' which could show the display name of the file.
