standard search modes does not fully support Path" option?

Post by abc550 »

Hello,

It seems, that many standard search mode features do not work when the option "Path" is enabled. For instance the search does not return any filename for a simple inquire as "a*" (however "*a*" with asterisks at the both sides is handled correctly).

Is this restriction is intentional on it's a little bug? At the first glance there is not any reason to limit standard search mode this way.

With Path enabled it compares the Name pattern to the entire Path instead of just the item names.
So "a*" is only going to match all items contained in the volume mapped to "A:".

Why are you enabling Path if you only want to search for matching file names?

Thanks and sorry for my stupidness, the thing is actually so simple.
