Multiple periods in filename seems to cause this problem ?

Post by denisf »

Hi All,

Long story short, having a heck of a time with Everything not seeing everything on a client's PC ! I simplified the testing below:

If I create a file called fred.joe.doc the following Everything searches produce the shown results

fred.joe.doc Found
fred.joe.do Not Found
fred.joe.d Not Found
fred.joe. Found
fred.joe Found
fred.jo Not Found
fred.j Not Found
fred. Found
fred Found
fre Not Found
fr Not Found
f Not Found

Strange, yes no ?
Thanks,
Denis

Hi Denis,

Please try disabling Match Whole Words from the Search menu (Ctrl + B)

The default search can be set under Tools -> Options -> Home.
