[Solved] Highlight search terms bug

Post by w64bit »

Highlight search terms is not working as expected all the time.
Example:
- when searching for *.docx it makes the .docx bold (OK)
- when searching for *a.docx it makes the a.docx bold (OK)
- if searching for a*.docx, it doesn't highlight anything
- if searching for *a*.docx, it doesn't highlight anything
- if searching for a*a.docx, it doesn't highlight anything

This is currently a limitation with Everything.

Everything does not highlight wildcards. Highlighting wildcards is on my TODO list.
when searching for *.docx it makes the .docx bold (OK)
when searching for *a.docx it makes the a.docx bold (OK)
These searches are optimized to a "end with" search.
