Re: searching folders and subfolders
And why should XY find a folder name PNP when there isn't any?
And without ticking the "Path" checkbox it wouldn't find it anyway, even if your regex pattern would work...

There are already scripts to use Everything inside of XY
I use a stripped down version without problems.

Re: searching folders and subfolders
i just stated my assumption, as this wish is strangely described, but it's amt about searching and "Everything" is on the screenshot.(me personally see no reason to use that)

?I think (s)he looks for folder P under folder PN. (It should not be "RegExp" but "Standard".) But this does not work (neither in "RegExp" nor in "Standard" mode). XY drops the "\" and converts it internally to a search for
name:"*pnp*"
Question: Shouldn't a pattern
PN\P
find a folder P under a folder PN? Seems natural to me.FAQ | XY News RSS | XY Twitter

Re: searching folders and subfolders
Well, it can be done using the correct syntax:
1) backslashes have to be doubled
2) /P switch: compare full path with pattern
PN\\P /P
1) backslashes have to be doubled
2) /P switch: compare full path with pattern

Question: Should XY be a little more smart and tolerant and accept
PN\P
as a shorthand for PN\\P /P
? I mean, what else should it mean? Or am I overlooking something?FAQ | XY News RSS | XY Twitter
Re: searching folders and subfolders
As long as "Standard" is selected, it would be a good idea...
