Weird upper case behaviour.

Post by harryray2 »

David,

I have a weird problem...I have some files that end with DO NOT DELETE.7z When I search for the file name, or just DO NOT DELETE there are no results.
If I search in lower case, the files appear. Even stranger, if I just put in DO NO, I get results, but no results if I search for DO NOT.
If I then enter DO NOt, the files appear.

Have you enabled literal search operators?

Please disable literal search operators:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Search tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Allow literal operators.
  • Click OK.
When this is enabled, NOT is the the NOT operator.



If you wish to keep literal search operators enabled, they can be escaped with double quotes ("):

DO "NOT" DELETE

Thanks, I forgot about the literal operators in options. It makes sense now.
