Can "Everything" fail to search files when it has multiple spaces in a directory?

[MatthewKyeo]

Hi, I'm Matthew. I'm using "Everything" v1.4.1.877(x64) on a 64-bit Windows 10 desktop.

I will explain something using the attached pictures.

As you see "No.1", if a file name has a single space, Everything can search files with no problem.

Whereas if a file name has 2 or more spaces inside, I think it fails to search it unless I add quotation marks " ".

For instance, I have created 2 files in

"C:\Users\Hi Void Tools 2017"

directory; test0void file and "Void HELLO World" file.

As you see picture 2 ~ 3, you can see what's happening.

However, if I add quotation marks like

C:\Users\"Hi Void Tools 2017"\ test0void

this can solve the problem.

So my question is, is Everything intended not to search files when a directory has multiple spaces?

Is adding quotation marks the only way? I feel quite distracting because I usually copy directories that have spaces in it.

Considering directories like

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

I wish this issue to be evaluated.

P.S.) I'm Korean and the computer is configured to use Korean so the \ has appeared as the Korean WON character in the picture.

Try searching in the path too (not just the filename) by activating: Menu:Search > Match Path

Are you able to change it to '\', at least temporarily to test with?
I wonder if WON is not being treated literally rather then a path separator?


?

Get directory separator char on Windows? ('\', '/', etc.)

Hi, "therube". You got a point. I will search how to change that.
