Searching for 'bookmarks-2021-07-29.json'

Post by portyforty2017 »

Creating a backup of Firefox bookmarks on 29th July results in a file named 'bookmarks-2021-07-29.json'.
But an Everything search for *.json gets me around 2800 results.
Is it possible to search for only the two constants, ie, 'bookmarks' and 'json'?
Sorry to ask, the answer is probably in your comprehensive HELP file, but I couldn't find it.
Thanks.

A space in Everything means AND.

Please try the following search:

*.json bookmarks
(Everything reads this as *.json AND bookmarks)



Please try the Advanced Search from the Search menu to help learn the Everything search syntax.
(Look for the all these words field.)



Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.
