Option to make [.] equivalent to [space]

Post by a.voider »

Hi, for some of us who grab stuff off the net and wind up with a bunch of filenames with periods and sometimes without:

it would be REALLY nice if there could be an option that would make Everything treat a . and a space as the same. (yes, I know I could do a regex and use . all the time). But it's a hassle to go through what I've pasted and change each space to a period. Or is there a way to do this already? Help.

Yes, ignore would work fine for me as well (so long as searches like, James.Bond OR James Bond will return both James Bond & James.Bond. Don't know much about programming, but maybe a way to just replace character x (commas, periods, ampersands, etc.) with a dot would help and then when with a search query, those characters would make a query for a dot as well.
