Find Files & Folders due to punctuation or miner miss spelling ?

Post by Flourgrader »

Hi All,
Merry Christmas to Everyone!!
I am using Everything 1.5a 1363 x64
In Windows 11.
Can someone help me out with a File/Folder search problem I have?
I am missing files in my search which I all ready have in my collection.
This is down to puctuation or miner spelling mistakes in the file name or folder name.
As an example if I want to find a video title by the name of
"The Magician's Elephant"
and I enter into the search "The Magicians Elephant"
nothing is returned in the search.
My Settings in Everything:
Under the menu option in Everything I have ignore punctuation, ignore white-space
Any suggestions are Welcome. :roll:
Thank You.
