Hi,

Im need to find files in a folder structure.
Inside the folder structure, im looking for files starting with bbb and has extension ccc
Any parent folder "in the structure" must start with aaa
"folder\structure" file:bbb*.ccc \aaa
is not working. Any1 with a simple solution? thx in advance....

Re: Help needed: Search for files with specs on file and folder name
Does the following search find your files:
\aaa file:bbb*.ccc
Please make sure "Match path when a search term contains a path separator" under Tools -> Options -> Search.
Please make sure regex is unchecked under the Search menu.
\aaa file:bbb*.ccc

No, is not working. it is working unless i enter *. from here the list is empty and any results are "gone".
I have the feeling "*" is not working.
\aaa => and folder starting with aaa
\aaa* => empty list
\aaa file:bbb => many files
\aaa file:bbb* => empty list
Option is set.

Re: Help needed: Search for files with specs on file and folder name
Any other options set under the Search menu?
* will force Everything to match the whole filename.
(this can be disabled from Tools -> Options -> Search -> Match whole filename when using wildcards)
If you have Match Path enabled, please try searching for:
**\aaa**\bbb*.ccc
-or-
\aaa nopath:startwith:bbb .ccc
-or-
Disable Match Path under the Search menu and search for:
\aaa file:bbb*.ccc

Re: Help needed: Search for files with specs on file and folder name
Gotcha:
"folder\structure" \aaa bbb*.ccc
is working for me "intuitively"
with:
- match path (enabled)
- match whole filename (disabled)
thx for helping.

Re: Help needed: Search for files with specs on file and folder name
Ok. Final question:
is there a function for searching path without filename?
reason
"folder\structure" \aaa bbb*.ccc
is returning not "AND" results if aaa and bbb has the same "value"...
because \aaa matches files and folders, but im only looking for folders starting with aaa and also files starting with aaa (this is tricky, because \aaa is matching folder or file)

Re: Help needed: Search for files with specs on file and folder name
With Everything 1.4, no.
Please try the following search:
"folder\structure" **\aaa**\bbb*.ccc
For Everything 1.5, please try:
"folder\structure" pathpart:\aaa bbb*.ccc
pathpart:
