Getting Digital when searching for Git

[soaper]

First off - Everything Search is an indispensible tool for me, can't imagine life w/o it.

When searching for pdf books on Git in my harddrive, the search also returns pdf files titled Digital.

Is there a way around this? I tried double quotes but that did not help.

Thanks so much for this awesome tool.

Please try searching for:

Code: Select all

ww:git

The ww: modifier makes Everything match whole words only.

-or-

Enable Match Whole Words from the Search menu.

Unbelievable! Thanks so much.

If I may: I think the challenge here is to find a way to make this option "discoverable" through the UI. The functionality is there, but the user doesn't know about it.

Also: Make it so that "ww:" can be mapped to any character by the user through customizations.

Again, incredible tool. The amount of time this tool saves users is simply amazing.

Improving macros is on my TODO list.

Filters already have macros, but they are fairly limited.

For example, with filter macros you can setup a git: macro to search for ww:git

• In "Everything", from the Search menu, click Organize Filters....
• Click New
• Give the filter a name, eg: git
• Check Match whole word
• Set the Search to:

  Code: Select all

  git

• Set the Macro to:

  Code: Select all

  git

• Click OK.

Now when you search for git: it will be replaced with ww:git

Well, this opens up a whole new level of possibilities! I am now busy crafting pre-defined searches. And best of all, you can attach a keyboard shortcut! Thanks so much and best wishes for continued success of this product.
