Everything 1.4:

Code: Select all

regex:^.*abc\.[^.]*$

Everything 1.5:

Code: Select all

file:   endwith:stem:abc

Just to note some differences with,
suffix:stem:abc
, will find:
abc.def@gmail.com
abc^123

where
endwith:stem:abc
will not.


Is abc^123 an odd one?
(In my thinking, yes.)


Also to point out that suffix:stem:abc works, where stem:suffix:abc does not.
(I tried the latter before the former.)

suffix: looks at the end of each "word" in the filename, so suffix:abc will match "something 123abc else"
So abc^23 should also be matched.

stem: is a search-function
suffix: is a search-modifier.

Typical Everything syntax is search-modifier:search-function:value
(where search-function:value could also be search-function:>value, etc.)

Had the same idea,but that will also match "something abc.123.txt" where the stem ends with 123.
