Search by extension results are wrong

Post by soaper »

Here's my search string: ext:docx|docm

The results include file with png extension where the filename part contains the extension being searched:

This must be a bug right? :)

If so, I am so happy, as I love Everything Search and feel like I am contributing back!

Thanks.

Please try the following search:

ext:docx;docm

ext: takes a semicolon (;) delimited list of extensions without the dot (.)

| is the OR operator in Everything.
Everything will treat ext:docx|docm as ext:docx OR docm



ext:

Yes, that works, thank you.

Learned something new in the process, always good.
