misunderstanding searching

Post by tytn »

I'm using Everything Version 1.4.1.877 (x64)

When i search "create event from command line" in "C:\MySnippets\", everything found only:

Create event from command line_files (Folder)
Create event from command line.htm
Create event from command line.xml

Where are "Create file from command line_files" (folder), "Create file from command line.htm" and "Create file from command line.xml"?

When i search "create file from command line", everything found:

Create file from command line_files (Folder)
Create event from command line_files (Folder)
Create file from command line.htm
Create file from command line.xml

Where are "Create event from command line.htm" and "Create event from command line.xml" ?

I am a bit confused. :?

When you search for create event from command line, everything searches for:
create AND event AND from AND command AND line
Where are "Create file from command line_files" (folder), "Create file from command line.htm" and "Create file from command line.xml"?
These files do not contain the word: event
Where are "Create event from command line.htm" and "Create event from command line.xml" ?
These files do not contain the word: file

Are you trying to search for: create AND event OR file AND from AND command AND line? if so, search for:
create event|file from command line

or, exclude event and file altogether (create AND from AND command AND line):
create from command line

I thought, everything search "create OR event OR from OR command OR line".
I have learned. Thank you for the quick response.
