Can't get Search by Size to work?

Post by chumbo »

Hi,
I won't post this yet in the bug section since 9/10 it's me making a mistake! :oops:

I'm trying to find large files in certain folders of my PC. So the only filter I applied is 'Size' since I don't care about the name of the file.
And regardless of the size - and just for testing purposes, I've gone down to 1Mb because I know I'd normally have 1000s of results!! - the search is completed in less than 2s and shows no results!?
What am I doing wrong??

At most: 0

That's your error (just set it to empty)...

...though I think that for At most = 0 (better: At most less than At least, to allow for 0/0) should be ignored, as it seems to make no sense.

Ah ok! Thanks :)
I told you it was probably going to be my fault ;) (strange though, I don't remember entering that? But I guess I did then....)

Well, you never know. There might be contexts where this setup and its result (zero hits) is desired. Or -- as a future feature -- I could interprete it as an inverted range: at least 100 + at most 50 would be: <= 50 OR >= 100 (= NOT 51-99).

Imho it should be left like it is. The user entered the value "0" at some point.
He got what he asked for and an inverted range can maybe confuse users as well :?:
