Wildcard doesn't work with ES

The wildcard mask

Code: Select all

*[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]

works in V, but not when Everything is checked.

For example , the folder

Code: Select all

inauthentication20100610102545

is not found when Everything is checked.

Unfortunately, that is not a standard Windows mask, and so Everything doesn't understand it.

When the Everything option is enabled, you must enter a valid Everything mask - V will not convert the mask to the Everything equivalent.
