What is the command line that matches whole full name?

Post by redwood »

in Everything 1.4 I used to use
Everything.exe -name-part
to set Search term to
nopath:wfn:"basename.ext"
but in Everything 1.5 I can't figure how to do so

Everything.exe -s nopath:wfn:[basename:"C:\windows\notepad.exe"]

[basename:"C:\windows\notepad.exe"] is replaced with "notepad.exe"



I will make -name-part behave exactly the same as Everything 1.4 in the next Everything 1.5 alpha update.

Everything 1.5.0.1384a fixes an issue with -name-part

-name-part will now match the whole name.

Use -basename if you want to perform a partial search.
