New installation (Windows 11); intermediate search terms not working anymore?

[axefrog]

On my old computer (Windows 10), I regularly performed searches such as "c: foo bar" and it would find any path that matched all three terms appearing in that order. On my new PC this doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm trying to figure out if there's some index setting (or other option) that I maybe had enabled on the old machine that isn't enabled on this machine.

As a test case on the new machine, the following queries:

[*]

c: manifests

yields many results, including

C:\Users\Nathan\.ollama\models\manifests

[*]

c: tsfp

yields one result:

C:\Users\Nathan\.ollama\models\manifests\registry.ollama.ai\library\tsfp

[*]

c: manifests tsfp

yields no results

I have tried with a few other random test cases for file/folder matches on different drives and the same problem seems to be exhibited in all cases, so it doesn't seem to be specific to anything in the path of the above test case. I can specify the drive, but if I include any two general path substrings in sequence separated by whitespace, Everything isn't finding them.

Why would this have worked on the old machine but not the new one?

Please try enabling Match Path under the main Search menu.

That did it, thanks!

in that order

That is not a given.
It may have happened to have worked out for you, but that need not be the case.

folder: c: foo bar

finds, both:

C:\TMP\copy\out\bar\foo\
&
C:\TMP\copy\out\foo\bar\
