Can't find item when there is dot in file name

Post by rezaka »

Hi there everyone
I have got a problem with Everything. when there is a dot in file name, for example "test.2021" and I type test 2021 no results are found.

Thanks in advance

What search options are checked under the Search menu?

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.

Thank you, I had to uncheck regex and that fixed it!
