It works to simply type in only the file name in the "File names" field. Search didn't look in the Recycle Bin. I did not need to type -\*$RECYCLE.BIN

In the "Containing text" field I typed the word statue

In File Explorer, I see "Recycle Bin" - not Recycler. During a search, at the bottom it shows it is searching D:\$RECYCLE.BIN\ .....

But isn't your suggestion for searching the recycle bin? I want to exclude the recycle bin.

Hi,

I'm trying to exclude the Recycle Bin in searches. I typed this in the Filters tab then "Exclude files" field: *$RECYCLE.BIN*
When searching file content containing text in the Location tab, the results show a lot of files in the Recycle Bin.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug ...
