Proposal: Add space as a searchable character

Post by Poul_Bundgaard »

When searching through files it would sometimes be beneficial if the charcter "space" (ASCII decimal 32) was added as a character which could be included in a search. Is this possible?

Please escape spaces with double quotes.

For example:
"c:\Program Files"


without double quotes, Everything will treat spaces as the AND operator, eg:
c:\program files == c:\program AND files


Ctrl + Alt + Space will add a literal space in the next major version of Everything.
For example:
c:\program<ctrl+alt+space>files

Okay, that solves the issue.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for a great program.
