I've run into a problem where the Find Files operation does not discover files on USB flash drives when the "location" data entry box selection is "Computer". When the "location" data entry box selection is the explicit drive letter assigned to the USB flash drive and the identical search is performed, the specified file is found. As a simple test, I created a single directory named "Experiment" on an otherwise empty USB flash drive and created a plain text small file named "Stealth.txt" in that directory. On a different partition on an internal NVMe SSD, I created a directory named "Experiment_D" and copied the "Stealth.txt" file to that directory. At this point there are two instances of "Stealth.txt: one is in the path "E:\Experiment\Stealth.txt" (this is the USB flash drive) and the other is in the path "D:\Experiment_D\Stealth.txt" (this is on the internal NVMe SSD).

You can see the results of the two "Find Files" operations in the attachments.

Any insight is greatly appreciated!

It's mentioned in the help:

All Disk Search: To perform a search covering several drives at once, simply enter Computer (or whatever you called it on your system) into the Location dropdown, or more simple: select the topmost node of the Tree and you're set. Removable drives (Floppies, CD-ROM, ZIP) are not included in the search.

Obviously this statement is very old: USB drives are still called "ZIP drives".

But I completely understand why this behavior is unexpected, and I don't really understand why it was done this way. So I'm willing to change it. Are there any objections?

PS: Also mapped network drives are currently not included here.

Try v26.90.0204, should work now as expected.

That did the trick ! Works quite nicely (and as expected).
Thanks !!!
