can't find files with _ (Underline) in Name

Post by nort »

I search for a File - my searchsting = "name" - but everything find only Files without '_'

01_Name_-_Titel1.xxx = was not found
02 Name - Titel2.xxx = was found
03.name.-.Titel3.xxx = was found

I can't find a way to ignore this '_' Underlines in Names
Could somebody help me?

You don't need to ingore '_'
Find "01_Name_-_Titel1.xxx" in WIndows Exploer
F2 (Rename).
Copy the FIlename.
Paste in Everything Search.

Do you get the file in Results?

Thank you for your Answer!

yes - when I use the whole filename, everything find this file with '_'

Yesterday, before I wrote in this forum, I have read the FAQ and I have disable in Preferences:
Options - General - Home: the first 5 Entries (match case ... match regex)
but it don't help ... I thought.

Today I saw, when I start everything new it will find all Files! :-)

after I use a Bookmark like this:
<"J:\TempG"|"J:\Temp ganz neu"|"J:\Temp Brenn">!<"z\"> <.url|ReadMe|Usix|downx|golx|Premx|electrox>!Captcha
the File with the '_' will not found.
I close everything and start it again - now all Files will found again. :-)

It seems, now everything works very fine but there is a problem with my bookmark.
I don't understand realy, what I have write in this bookmark but it works ...
may be there is a way to modify it?

addon:
I have found, that I can change the Options to each Bookmark like the general Options = General - Home: the first 5 Entries (match case ... match regex) - it seams, this was the solution for my problems - to disable the match xxx Entries also at all my Bookmarks! :-)
