What does here punctuation / this option mean(?):
Ignore punctuation in the filename.

For example, a search for spiderman will match a file named spider.man


Respectively why does it not find that(?):
Home.for.Christmas.
Everything will still match any punctuation you specify in your search.


What is the easiest / best way to combine filters / bookmarks (without changing / creating new filters)? E.g. if I wanted to use some of my filters combined with this one:
There's no easy way to AND filters.

Use filter macros to AND filters.

For example:

folder: removepunctuation:Home.for.Christmas.



Consider pasting text with Ctrl + Shift + V to replace punctuation with spaces.

Thank you, yes, I will try to do. Have some difficulties to remember all of the (same / different working) shortcuts from so many programs / actions.

What is the difference between "white-space" and "space" (the result of pressing the space key) in the filters under "Search"?
