Space used to be wildcard for certain characters and other issues with search

Post by KaziQ »

Hi,

I don't know what happened and when this happened but when I used space in a text for example "my birthday", a file containing "my.birthday" would show up. Now if I use spaces, those files will be eliminated from search. Also when I right click on any folder whether local or network, instead of using quotes, it's using ^ and escape characters for slashes etc. It's breaking the search because I can't now easily use extra keywords to further the search.

Thanks

Please make sure Match Regex is disabled under the Search menu.

Thank you, I tried to find a similar option in the options. I don't know when I needed that and forgot to turn it off after I was done.
