Search does not work when there is a fullstop in file name

Search does not work when there is a fullstop in file name for example if one searched for abc25.11 hoping to try and find this file. abc25.11.2007.exe no results would be returned

Hello ! Welcome aboard !

…if one searched for abc25.11 hoping to try and find this file. abc25.11.2007.exe…

• Is the file-name file. abc25.11.2007.exe really ?
So, you could enter :

Code: Select all

*.*abc25.11.*

BTW : I don't see the need to have a space there, or is it accidental ?

 Kind regards,

file. abc25.11.2007.exe

I guess this should read like: file: "abc25.11.2007.exe"

The behaviour probably is because if no dot is contained in the search string,
with search string text TC searches for *text* (finding also "testtext2.txt"),
but searches for the exact file name, if the search string contains a dot, like text.txt (not finding "text2.txt" nor "text.txt2").

Solution: search text abc25.11* should find your file.
