[TC 11.03] Using AlwaysShowAppdata=1 does not include the AppData in searches

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC 11.03] Using AlwaysShowAppdata=1 does not include the AppData in searches

Post by *petermad »

If AlwaysShowAppdata=1 is enabled and showing of hidden files is disabled (both are defaults), then even though the AppData folder is visible in the users directory, searching does not include the Appdata folder - unless 'Everything' is enabled.

If you are inside the appData folder, you can search in it's subfolders, but not if you are in %USERPROFILE% or above.

I think that is an unexpected behavior.

Indeed this only shows the folder, it doesn't include it in searches. This is by design. The same happens with the fake C:\Windows\Sysnative folder in the 32-bit versions.

There are currently no plans to change this behaviour.
