when using file: !. only files are displayed
when using folder:!. folders+files are displayed

Re: file:!. question
What are you trying to accomplish?
Looks like
> file: !.
is returning files without extensions,
which is the same as
> ext:
> folder: !.
is returning folders without extensions
>file:!.
looks to be returning all folders AND files without extensions
>folder:!.
look to be returning folders without extensions AND all files
Looks like unexpected behaviors in there.

Re: file:!. question
It's a limitation with Everything.
! and file: are both modifiers on the same term.
a space splits the search into to terms, file: AND !search
Everything will work as expected when you introduce a space.
file:!. is actually !file:.
which is why you see folders.
I've changed Everything so it correctly differentiates between !file: and file:! for the next beta update, if you would like to test this now, please try Everything 789b:
