Does not find file starting with . (period/full-stop)

[terrypin]

I want files matching
.clang-format
but get no hits. Yet if I change the search entry without the initial period to
clang-format
I get two correct hits.

Is there some special syntax I should use? Searched Help > Search Syntax but found no apparently relevant entry.

Hi,

Please try (in Everything 1.5a)

Code: Select all

startwith:name:.clang-format

Have a look here:
How to use startwith?

Thanks Tuska but that too delivered no hits. After some further reading as you suggested I gave up and asked Agent Ransack instead, to find
.clang-format
which gave me all 11 occurrences.

Which version of Everything are you using?

Perhaps you could provide some example names and tell us which files you can find and which you cannot.

Please try disabling Match Whole Word from the Search menu.

Is anything else checked under the Search menu?

Thanks both.
