Finding Files w/comma

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?

The filename doesn't match the search pattern so why should XY find & list it?

v15.9x is +2 years old, can't say anything what happened in the past, though...

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.

Thanks admin! Good to know I'm only half senile.
