Search partial file name / any order

Post by authorleon »

hello all,

I would like to know if it's possible to search partial names in any particular order.

It is an example.

Files name: Test Document - To do list - System - Peterpan - TP.docx

So I would like to be able to type in the following and get the appropriate results:

> TO TP
> list pan
> TP TO DO

The idea is whatever groups of words I type, introduces the search down accordingly.

Is this possible?

Thank you all.

Everything should already be doing this.

Please make sure you have no search options enabled under the Search menu (please make sure regex and match whole words are disabled)

Hi,

You can see it right here. When I do a search, for some reason it has to be in order.

I also did this: (please make sure regex and match whole words are disabled)

Thank you

Please leave the options in Tools -> Options -> Search as the defaults:
  • Check Fast ASCII search.
  • Check Match path when a search term contains a path separator.
  • Check Match whole filename when using wildcards.
Please confirm no options are check in the main Search menu:
