Find spaces in File Explorer

How do I find all files with at least one space in their name in File Explorer?

I cannot find a way. :eh:

Not exactly but at least it highlights all items with a space in it...

Code: Select all

name:~"* *"
In contrast this doesn't do what it's supposed to do...

Code: Select all

name:~"* *" NOT kind:folder
Highlights folder names with spaces as well *sigh*

What's the meaning of ~ ?

PS: got it, it apparently means "match exactly" .. not very intuitive... :roll:
