Match path behavior

Post by phil2search »

I have a question about the match path option.

Let's say I'm looking for C:\test1\test2.txt.
Searching with test1 test2 returns the file if match path is enabled in searh (ctrl-U), and not if disable.

There are a match path options in options->home and filter.
Unless I am mistaken or there is something to set elsewhere, both seem overriden by match path in search.
e.g. if enabled in home or filter, test1 test2 is not found if match path is disabled in search (and vice versa).
Is this expected? Are these options doing anything?

Thanks

Tools -> Options -> Home -> Match Path will set the default Match Path setting for new windows and tabs.

Filter -> Match Path only applies to the filters search.

Search -> Match Path applies to your main search box.



Other options with Search -> Match Path disabled:

Code: Select all

\test1 test2
test1\ test2
path:test1 test2
\:test1 test2
path:
