Question 1:


This expression can search for files.



This expression cannot search for files.



Why? Thank you.








Question 2:


The options on this picture are equivalent to this expression.



What expression is equivalent to the options on this picture?



Thank you.

Question 1: This is how the syntax is defined: there MUST be a space between counter and unit.

Why isn't it the same for sizes? 1MB is a valid expression

But I tested that the result of the following expression is the same.

Code: Select all

:*.cpp AND ageM: <= 1h
:*.cpp AND ageM: <=1 h
:*.cpp AND ageM:<= 1 h
:*.cpp AND ageM:<=1h

Maybe the same but WRONG. When the space is missing the unit will fall back to *days*, not hours.

But relax. I just added a bit of tolerance. From the next beta onwards that space is optional.

I see. Thank you.

How do I write the expression of Question 2?

Good question. These terms are always treated as "start of unit", so it's only possible by changing the unit. Instead of "1 d" you can use "24 h" or "1440 n" depending on how exact you want it to be.
