Wildcarded folders not working

Post by Coldblackice »

I'm trying to wildcard search a folder, but it's not working. For example, if I was looking for PDF files inside a folder named "Dark Knight", but I only remembered the "Knight" part of the folder name, I would try a search for:

\*Knight *.pdf

When I try this, however, the folder search doesn't wildcard the folder names. Is this intentional? Could it be made to do so?


Thanks,

Wildcards match the whole filename.

Try searching for:

Code: Select all

*\*Knight* *.pdf
-or-

Disable Match whole filename when using wildcards from Tools -> Options -> Search.
