Organized Filters do not match search results

Post by rgbigel »

I have noticed that a search specified does not match the same results as when using the same value in organized filters.
Specifically, an search filter does not seem to exclude the paths containing "program" if i specify !path:program

example: Selected Filter "Everything" versus search set to

!path:program !Path:\Trash !path:windows !path:\Attachments !path:protected !path:\appdata !path:\microsoft !path:\account !path:\installer !path:\amd !path:\@ !path:\adm !path:\win !path:\$win !path:\local !path:\tools !path:\desktop !path:\$recycle !\spezielles !\perl !\attachments !\.thumb !\Bücher !\tbd !\# !\musi !\ctnot !\elements !\berchtware !path:"a:\users\Administrator" !\temp !path:d:\wscc4 !path:Dokumentation !path:\users !path:system !path:\$ !path:trash !path:restore !path:meine file:IMG_|IMAGE_|IMG-|VID-|VID_|DSC|scn_|scan_|screenshot_|SAM_|Photo-|"Bild "|cimg|snp-|"threema-" ext:ani;bmp;gif;ico;jpe;jpeg;jpg;pcx;png;psd;tga;tif;tiff;2gp;3gp;3gp2;3gpp;amv;asf;asx;avi;bdmv;bik;d2v;divx;drc;dsa;dsm;dss;dsv;evo;f4v;flc;fli;flic;flv;hdmov;ifo;ivf;m1v;m2p;m2t;m2ts;m2v;m4b;m4p;m4v;mkv;mp2v;mp4;mp4v;mpe;mpeg;mpg;mpls;mpv2;mpv4;mov;mts;ogm;ogv;pss;pva;qt;ram;ratdvd;rm;rmm;rmvb;roq;rpm;smil;smk;swf;tp;tpr;ts;vob;vp6;webm;wm;wmp;wmvp !CN_

will not give the same results when I use this search as an organized Filter <Name> and using that as a filter.

Most bizarre, if I use that filter and add
!path:program
as a search value, the results list DOES exclude that path.

I know that this filter is rather long, so it could contain some error(s). But I get no error indication, so I think it ought to work. It is essentially a list of all pictures and video files and a list of folders to be ignored.
Could you please explain?

This may be caused by different options (e.g. match path, Regular expressions etc.) in the filter definition and in the Search menu.

It might be a order of operations issue.

What is your Tools -> Options -> Search -> Operator precedence? (OR > AND is the default)


In your filter, please try changing:
file:IMG_|IMAGE_|IMG-|VID-|VID_|DSC|scn_|scan_|screenshot_|SAM_|Photo-|"Bild "|cimg|snp-|"threema-"
to:
file:<IMG_|IMAGE_|IMG-|VID-|VID_|DSC|scn_|scan_|screenshot_|SAM_|Photo-|"Bild "|cimg|snp-|"threema-">

Does the issue persist?
