If I enter something like *.jpg or *.mp3, I get no search results. If I omit the *, I get the expected results, but I also get any file that contains jpg or mp3 without the period.
I am using 1.2.1.371. I must be doing some basic thing wrong because it seems nobody else has reported this simple problem. Help?
Search usage

Just search .jpg or .mp3

Re: Search usage
Thanks, but that doesn't give me a logical result. For example, using .mp3 includes files such as rjmp3pln.dll, a RealPlayer plugin, along with the desired music files. Oddly enough, using .mp3 or mp3 returns a different number of results, neither of which is correct.daspud wrote:leave off the splat (*)

Looks like a program bug to me, but I can't imagine that nobody else has noticed and reported this behavior.

Is Enable Regex checked in the search menu. If true the . match any char.
Re: Search usage
Yes! Thanks, tonne, that was the trick I needed. Just need to remember to mash Ctrl-R to toggle Regex off. (I should have figured that out, but I'm happy that you did instead.)tonne wrote:Is Enable Regex checked in the search menu. If true the . match any char.
