Missing switch "not follow FL" in QS? Bug?

Post by autocart »

help file wrote:A Quick Search bypasses the settings in the Find Files tab: They are not modified and not applied. Exceptions: Include subfolders and Follow folder links (which can be overwritten by switches). So, the Quick Search is a way to quickly perform a search without caring about the current state of all the other Find Files settings, ...
In the description of the switches I can see the following:
help file wrote:/n    Do not recurse subfolders. (Quick Search defaults to recurse subfolders.)
In a Multi Branch View this switch will also suppress listing the top folders of each branch.

/r Recurse subfolders. (Obsolete since v15.60 where this behavior has become the default.)

/k Follow Folder Links. (Quick Search defaults to not follow folder links.)
I cannot find a switch that would say "Do not follow Folder Links."
Get it?

You are missing the point but I am lazy, so let's see if somebody else gets it.

That help text is indeed wrong. I just updated it to this:
A Quick Search bypasses the settings in the Find Files tab: They are not modified and not applied. Note especially that a Quick Search by default Includes subfolders and Does not follow folder links (both can be overwritten by switches).
Use these switches to overwrite the defaults:
/n Do not recurse subfolders. (Quick Search defaults to recurse subfolders.)
/k Follow Folder Links. (Quick Search defaults to not follow folder links.)
