Folder search and regex
Posted: Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:17 am
I read the post about regex and folder search, but I can't get it working...
eg. when I search without regex using :
I get results
when I enable regex and match path and match case is off
no results
tried
no results
what am I doing wrong ?
maybe change search syntax a bit, like this, in order to make it clear to Everything how you want to search
Having to toggle search mode using short-cut keys is less easy than using some kind of search syntax to make clear what you want.
You could keep the short-cut keys for users who are used to it AND provide some kind of "switches" inside the search syntax for user like me who don't like the short-cut keys.
Switches would have precendence over options in the menu
eg. when I search without regex using :
Code: Select all
temp\ docx
when I enable regex and match path and match case is off
Code: Select all
temp\\ docx
tried
Code: Select all
^c:\\temp\\ docx$
