wildcards do not work for folders names

[Leopoldus]

It seems that regular wildcards (*, ?) for filenames do not work at all when option "Check full path" is enabled.

Another probleb with wildcards that XYplorer does not find matching folders names (regardessly if option "Check full path" is enabled on not).

Is this a bug or a feature? Assume it to be a bug, because can't see any reason for such limitations.

They do work, but are applied to the whole path/filename.

But it does! Maybe you filter Attributes??

No, I think it may some be syntax problem here. For example, there are many folders with name "varia" at my HDD, and some others "varia bla-bla-bla..." as well. See my search results below:

With option "Check full path" enabled:
query ________________ result
varia ___________________ 160 folders
*varia* _________________ 160 folders
*varia __________________ 111 folders
varia* ___________________ 0 folders

With option "Check full path" disabled":
query ________________ result
varia ___________________ 124 folders
*varia* _________________ 124 folders
*varia __________________ 111 folders
varia* __________________ 114 folders

What is my mistake?

The full path does not start with varia* but with C:\...\varia* or D:\...\varia*. Full is full: it includes the drive letter.

Ah soo!

For example, to find all HTM-files in all subfolders called "code" use this ("Check full path" active):
*\code\*.htm
