I wanted to find all filenames that contained "John Q. Public". So in the LFB I entered "Q." (no quotes). But this finds nothing.
With a trailing space "Q. " it works. The period alone "." also works.
I did read everything about LF in the Help, and made a first pass through the Visual Filter syntax but began aging so rapidly that I had to stop. So I'm not sure that this is actually a bug.
This should be easy for anyone to confirm and of course it happens with any letter, not just Q.
Live Filter won't find "Q."

Re: Live Filter won't find "Q."
In XYplorer a final dot in a search or filter pattern stands for "match items without extension". To work around this you have to add another character to the pattern, in your case a space:
