Questions about Search

Is it possible search, for example, "sete" and find results as "sete", séte", sète", "sëte", sête", etc?
How can I search for files with a dot (for example: St. John, St.Martin, etc)?
If I search por "st.", no results. If I search ".", get all the files in the folder (the "." of the extension)
Thanks in advanced.

"st.*"
find results as "sete", séte", sète", "sëte", sête"
You didn't try the [ ] Ignore diacritics option?

Thanks, "st.*" works
And I have checked the Ignore diacritics options... but now notice the need of use " "

No, quotes (" ") are not needed. Normally the pattern
St. would match all filenames containing "St.". But in XYplorer, patterns ending with a dot are a special case: Find only filenames without extensions.
Therefore you have to wrap your pattern in wildcards (*):

Well, my comment about quotes was about the question "sete...etc".
Seems better "st.*" than *St.* (*St.* also find files as "the best.txt")
