no-start-with and no-end-with
no-start-with and no-end-with
I've notice these two...I tried them out but they didn't seem to work..What's the correct format please?
Re: no-start-with and no-end-with
The no- prefix disables the search modifier.
Generally, the startwith: and endwith: search modifiers are disabled by default so no-start-with: and no-end-with: will do nothing.
They are only useful if you end up with a term (usually for a filter) that has the startwith:/endwith: modifier and you want to disable it:
nostartwith:<startwith:every thing>
is the same as:
every thing
The outer left most search modifier will take precedence.
The no- prefix might not be so useful for startwith: and endwith:
The no- prefix simply exists for as all search modifiers.
For example, you might enable Match case from the Search menu, which you can override with nocase: in your search.

Ah, OK, is it possible to search for a file that doesn't start with a particular string?
Re: no-start-with and no-end-with
Please try the NOT operator: !
To find content that does NOT startwith foo:
!startwith:content:foo
Everything Search Operators
startwith: Search Modifier
To find content that does NOT startwith foo:
!startwith:content:foo
Everything Search Operators
startwith: Search Modifier
