Hello , I like to test software so I named few folders different names and here is what I found , weird

So when searching for

---=== !!! MasTer !!! ===--- I get Zero results

When I search for ! NO results

When I search for !!

-I get results for any files or folder with a space in between EXAMPLE ! ! however when I search there I do Not add spaces but there is folders and files named that way Also there is results for millions of files from everywhere that I never searched for , Example : 闪电体 Which not relative to the search

It will also show results for big dots •DSert and other languages file names

When i search for !!! - 3 of them no result

!!!! results will be same as !!

So long story short , Can you please fix that thank you , I'm using the the latest alpha version,

Thanks.

! = NOT operator.

Please escape operators with double quotes (")

"---=== !!! MasTer !!! ===---"

-or-

---=== "!!!" MasTer "!!!" ===---



Space = AND operator.

You could also escape the spaces with quotes as ! is only treated as the NOT operator when it is at the start of the search term.

---===" "!!!" "MasTer" "!!!" "===---



To disable the ! NOT operator:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  not
• Select allow_exclamation_point_not.
• Set the value to: false
• Click OK.

You can use not: for the NOT operator.

(Some nuances with !, Why is not not not when at the start of a path?)
