Only Search Within Filename, Ignoring Extension (stem Doesn't Quite Work)

[postfreq]

Hi everybody. First time poster, big time fan of the software.

I've looked through threads related to my question, but I couldn't make the solutions work for my specific setup. I'm using Everything as a quick select for a list of files and launching them. They all have ".jsx" extension. If I search for "ac s" for example, Everything finds both "acme.jsx" and "acme super.jsx", because of the s in jsx. I would like it to only find "acme super.jsx" and not "acme.jsx" (ignoring the s in the extension).

In one of the threads NotNull brought up "stem", which does solve my issue technically: if I enter "ac stem:s", it works the way I want it to. Unfortunately, typing up "stem" every time is unwieldy for my use case, since I'm often looking these files up many times per minute.

Is there a way to achieve what I want? Thank you.

Please consider wildcards.

For example:

ac *s*.*

* = enable whole filename matching and match any character any number of times.



Please consider disabling Match whole filename when using wildcards:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Search tab on the left.
• Uncheck Match whole filename when using wildcards.
• Click OK.

Now you only need to search for:

ac s*.

Thank you. This is certainly quicker than "stem:", I'll try to incorporate it into my workflow and see if it works out.
