how do i search with part words?

Post by gsom9000 »

Maybe i broke some settings, but i can not make it to work. Everything 1.5.0.1352a (portable) and when i type "ryz cal" to find "DRAM-Calculator-for-Ryzen-1.7.3.zip" file - the program does not find anything. How do i search it without typing exact file name? Also, what settings should i check to make it work? If i remember correctly, Everything was able to find me that file with that phrase before

Please make sure Regular expressions is unchecked under the Search menu.
Please make sure Match whole words is unchecked under the Search menu.

REGEX or WHOLEWORD would be shown in the status bar on the right.

Thank you for your answers! I've checked these settings - they did not help, unfortunately. But i've noticed there is a newer version, so i just downloaded Everything 1.5.0.1360a and search works out of the box, even if part words are not in order. Great!
Maybe it was something wrong because i'm using custom windows iso's like GhostSpectre, ReviOS and they somehow screwed Everything's database and search service from portable folder
