Exclude keywords Using Options/Exclude

Post by cloves »

I can't seem to figure out how to exclude files that contain a certain word in their naming. In the exclude section, I see how to exclude file extensions (eg.*.lnk, *.jpg,)

Searched the forum but no results on just keyword.

Thanks in advance

Please try the following exclude filter:

*keyword*

This will work best if you include punctuation with your keyword for example:
*.keyword.*



However, if you exclude:

*foo*

This will exclude food



To exclude whole words, please try the following exclude filter:

regex:\bkeyword\b

regex: = enable regular expressions.
\b = match a word boundary.
