Boolean search "and not"

[jsampson45]

I want to search for all filenames with "inv.doc" in them but to exclude filenames ending in "axx". I would have thought "inv.doc !axx" would do this, but nothing is found. Is there a way of doing this?

inv.doc !axx should show some results.

Please make sure Regex is disabled from the Search menu.

I disabled regexes but this made no difference. "axx" and "inv.doc" are not whole filenames - "axx" is a suffix and "inv.doc" is a string included in the filenames of the files I want to find.

Please try:

Code: Select all

inv.doc !*axx
