When 'Everything' is enabled in the Find Files dialog, a search pattern like *12.* does NOT work, but it works when 'Everything' is disabled. (both 64bit and 32bit TC)
I went back and tried old TC versions and the pattern does work in TC 9.00 and 9.0a, but it stops working in TC 9.10 beta3.
I cannot see anything in the history for TC 9.10 beta3 that there should have been made any changes for the Search function in that version though.

If you make the same search with
ev:*12.*
or
ed:*12.*
you will see that Everything has no problem to find the files.
Also the Everything GUI has no problem with such a wildcard.
You have to disable this under Tools/ Options /Search in Everything:
Then it works in TC with Everything.
ev:*12.*
or
ed:*12.*
you will see that Everything has no problem to find the files.
Also the Everything GUI has no problem with such a wildcard.
You have to disable this under Tools/ Options /Search in Everything:
Code: Select all
[ ] Match whole filename when using wildcards

OK - so no bug in TC, but a configuration issue with 'Everything'.You have to disable this under Tools/ Options /Search in Everything:
[ ] Match whole filename when using wildcards
Problem solved.
Can this 'Everything' feature be overridden? - because if it can, maybe TC should do so when passing the search to 'Everything'

Re: [TC 9.10b3 - TC 10.00] Certain search pattern does not works when 'Everything' is enabled
In principle, yes, e.g. as follows:
Code: Select all
Everything Total Commander
[✓] Match whole filename when using wildcards [✓] 'Everything'
*2.*;*4.*;*6.*;*8.*;*0.*;"*12.*" --> "*12.*" Why no hits for this?
ev: D: wholefilename:<*2.*|*4.*|*6.*|*8.*|*0.*|*12.*>
ev: D: nowholefilename:<*2.*|*4.*|*6.*|*8.*|*0.*|*12.*>
In my opinion, however, TC should not overrule any setting in Everything, because in many cases this setting is needed.
This is the default setting in Everything(!): [✓] Match whole filename when using wildcards
