BUG: Filter "No Extension" doesn't work after updating to v1.4

After updating to v1.4 my custom filter "No Extension" (file:*.) doesn't work anymore.
Typing file:*. in search box doesn't work either.

Try the ext: function (alone), so, ext:


Not sure what file:*. would return offhand?

file:. (with only a dot)
would return files that have a dot in in their filename or have an extension (the "dot" being the separator between the name & extension).

!file:. (NOT file dot)
would return files with no extension and also have no dot in their filename

!file:. !folder: looks to return the same as ext:


No idea about your screenshot, much less "crazydomains" (which might be a "parking" ad)?

Thank you, that works.

In v1.3 both, file:*. and your suggestion ext:, show all files without extension (ie. hosts file). In v1.4 file:*. shows nothing. Maybe that was a bug in v1.3 and it is fixed now.

*. was a special case in Everything 1.3 to match files with no extension.

In Everything 1.4, *. searches for *.

The easiest way to search for no ext is:
!.
