Basic but can't get it

Post by Roonsworld »

I have multiple files starting with the name "Roon" and some files with "Roons" and some files which don't start with Roon but in the centre or end
How do I search only the files which starts with Roon

roon*


Using a * wildcard forces Everything to match the whole filename.

wildcards



startwith:roon


startwith:



regex:^roon


regex: = enable regular expressions.
^ = match start of filename.

regex:
^

Both showing results for Roons also. But I just want the files that starts with only Roon (not with the S)

\b = match a word boundary.
