So I have multiple VM running everything.
I am not sure why but when I search using regex in 1 get results, but in other I am not getting anything, yet the wildcard search works the way regex should.
I check the settings on both and they appear to be the same
Am I missing something, or a specific setting that has not been enabled? I thought both were default installs.
Here are 3 different screenshots show search settings etc

It looks like there are no results matching this expression.
On the PC that is not finding results:
Is Everything indexing your G: drive? please try searching for g:
-If not, add your G: drive under Tools -> Options -> Folders
Does the following search return any results: *.s0?.e??.*
(the regular expression is matching the . in the middle between s and e)

Re: 2 VM running everything, regex works on 1 but not the other
Actually it appears that that I get different results on ALL installs when using these search terms
regex:\.s0\d\.e\d\d\. - Does not show as many results as this search
*.s0?e??.* - Yet this search returns a lot more results that are in the exact format as the above search
Meaning if I run the regex search and move all those to a location Everything cannot see, then run the *.s0?e??.* I get more results that did not appear with the regex yet the folders have the exact same name layout

Instead of adding drive G:\ I add folders ie Team Drives 1 by 1 to Everything for it to index.void wrote: ↑Wed Apr 19, 2023 3:55 am It looks like there are no results matching this expression.

Trying to use Everything on G:\ would take it weeks to index due to the amount of Drives I have in the system
Basically I break Everything in multiple VM and only index certain drives per VM by category this gets the best results, and allows me to index via Topic/Category instead of trying to index the entire system

These searches are matching different things.regex:\.s0\d\.e\d\d\. - Does not show as many results as this search
*.s0?e??.* - Yet this search returns a lot more results that are in the exact format as the above search
Please take note of the . in the middle.
