Search of data files stopped workinng

Post by dhlytle »

Working under latest version 24.10. It was working fine until until yesterday. It may be that I made some conflicting setup.
I have restarted Xyplorer, with not change. Considering re-install the program to see if that helps.
Any other suggestions.

My data is largely Microsoft *.doc or *.docx files.
If I search for *.doc* I get about 10 arbitrary records

Thanks for any help...

Works fine here, I hope the second * is only in your post.
*.doc* doesn't make sense.
Check what you have enabled under Applied filters:
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)
Everything 1.5.0.1371a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.3.2, Listary Pro 6.3.0.69

That for your reply.

Regarding *.doc*

In more real life: *john*.doc* will give me all documents with the name "john" in the title and have either
extension format .doc or .docx

Regarding applied filters.
To keep my tests simple, they are restricted to "address"

Hope that makes sense.

*.doc* also works here
There is no Address filter, I guess you mean the Name & Location field.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3374)
Portable XYplorer (actual version, including betas)
