Exact Quick Search

[Shutey]

How do I do a quick search for what I ask for. The help instructions in Quick Search are incorrect!

Help says...
readme.txt = Find all files called readme.txt (this should say "containing readme.txt" a duplicate of the next line!)
black = Find all items containing 'black' in the name

For example if I search "readme.txt" it will also find "my_readme.txt", surely 'containing' searches are why we have wildcards. If I want a 'containing' search I would search "*readme.txt" or "*black*"

My question is - how do I write a search query that only finds what I tell it to find, "readme.txt" without finding "my_readme.txt"

Oh and a similar issue exists with the Beta Club's search. Searching for "quick search" I had to scroll through over 400 messages containing "Quick" and/or "Search" or both but not together and the advanced search didn't have the solution, adding + just made sure both were present and the usual trick of surrounding in quotes was ignored.

By putting the search term in double quotes.

"readme.txt" will only find readme.txt, not my_readme.txt, readme.txt.ext or anything else

A regex would also be possible ofc...

I actually tried that, as mentioned in my post I also tried it on Beta Club website and it didn't work there either but...

having tried it again in XYplorer it does work - I must have done something wrong the first time I tried it in Quick Search - my bad.

Thank you for your reply @highend, I guess this makes wildcards superfluous in Quick Search.
