Hi there,
1. I love everything!

2. I've defined a filter (Search --> Organize Filters) which has "Match path" checked. But when activating this filter (or using its Macro word), the Match Path option isn't applied. Similarly, when I apply it manually and then switch to a filter where it's unchecked - the option isn't unapplied.
Using Everything 1.4.1.877 (x64) on Windows 10 Enterprise.
Thanks,
Omer

What is your particular search?
It could be (like with an anchored regex:, "^ABC"), that you're looking for ABC as one part of of filepath+name, where Everything is searching for filepath+name that starts with "ABC".
C:\TMP\ABC.TXT
C:\ABC\test123.mp3
Also if using regex: you may need to escape \'s.
path:regex:"^TMP"
won't return anything.
path:regex:"^C:\\TMP"
will
path:regex:"^ABC"
won't return anything
path:regex:"^C:\\ABC"
will
