Search Filter, file ext & query?

Post by XtremeMaC »

Hello,

So I'm trying to add a search filter that will search for file extension as well as a query.
Well basically what I'm trying to do is, I work with CAD files and STP files are extremely large when uncompressed.
So I'd like to be able to search for ext:STP as well as searching for *stp.7z.
basically wanna do this for IGS, STP, CatPart and for archive do it for *{CAD}.7z, *{CAD}.Rar, *{CAD}.Zip

I don't know if its possible with regex as I've never tried Everything with Regex before.

Is this possible with search filter?
TIA

Code: Select all

<  ext:cad  |  ext:stp  | ext:cad.7z  |  ext:cad.rar  |  ext:cad.zip  | ext:stp.7z  | ext:stp.rar  |  ext:stp.zip  >

Code: Select all

ext:cad;stp;cad.7z;cad.rar;cad.zip;stp.7z;stp.rar;stp.zip
Combine the extensions into one ext: list for improved performance.

(Oh, so that's the separator I was looking for. Imagine its mentioned in the help or somewhere ;-).)
