Regex not supporting anchors?

Regex not supporting anchors?
Or at least something doesn't seem right.


Neither, Ctrl+R nor regex:

regex:^Everything

Expected: Find file names starting with Everything

Results: Nothing

Yet something like, ^.*$ (find all files, kind of thing) does work.
As does: ^.*thing.exe$ (find filenames ending with thing.exe").

Ah, I see what it is.
Match Path.
If Match Path is enabled, ^ anchors to the start of the Path rather then the Name, so you would need something like, oh, not sure,

Code: Select all

 ^.:\\.*\\everything
 -reduced-
 ^.*\\everything
 

which looks like it will find files or directory parts that start with everything. (That's weird .)

And if you append \. that gets rid of (most of) the directory parts.

Code: Select all

^.:\\.*\\everything\.

(Something like \everything64\ is still found. <-No, that's wrong.)
