Find Files and Quick Search return different results

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I just don't know what I'm doing. I created a Quick Search string and inserted it as an item in a Catalog category. When I activate the search, it finds no results on the current folder. However, when I go down to the Info Panel and manually click Find Now (the parameters were filled in by the Quick Search) it now displays results. See the linked screencast below for a demo

Try only this:[code]size: <= 100MB /r[/code] :oops:

Code: Select all

size: >= 100MB /r
white spaces matter.

It worked! (Using >=, of course). It's interesting how the parser on the Quick Search is finicky on the spaces but the Find Files isn't. Either way, thanks for your help!

Did not watch the video, but I don't think there is a difference in parsing. It's the same code for both.

the truly erroneous part was the *.* in the used pattern.

Code: Select all

*.* size: >= 100MB /r
