vs: 15.90
Could have swore that XYplorer could find file names when the first/last names were inverted with a comma.
Directory Structure:
Master (Main Dir)
..Doe, John (sub-dir)
.....abcd - John Doe.ext (filename)
If I use use "Find Files" with my location as "Master", and my Name as "Doe, John" the search function lists the "Doe, John (sub-dir)", but not the "abcd - John Doe.ext (filename)". Am I going senile, I thought that it in the past it would return both the sub-dir and the filename?

Re: Finding Files w/comma
The filename doesn't match the search pattern so why should XY find & list it?

Re: Finding Files w/comma
To match both:
abcd - Doe, John.txt
abcd - John Doe.txt
use this pattern:
John Doe
it will match all files with John AND Doe.
abcd - Doe, John.txt
abcd - John Doe.txt
use this pattern:
John Doe
it will match all files with John AND Doe.
