FreeCommander Forum

Sorry to ask such a silly question.

I am a long standing user of FreeCommander, but I can't figure out why, after upgrading to Donor 64bit 891, I can only search for folders. Files are not found!

I have also noticed that the search results windows turns an ominous black while searching.

I'm sure it's a silly oversight on my part, so I apologize in advance.

Thanks!

Not confirmed.
What's the contents of the fields File name: and Folders: ?
Check the contents of all tabs in the search windows.

Example for working search:

Hello, Horst,

your input did not provide a direct answer, but it did get me thinking and indeed find my own answer.

It turns out that the Search function has an option called "Add wildcards to filename", that I was never aware of. I don't know if it was there before or not, or maybe it defaulted to what I prefer (i.e. automatic wildcard).

I did not activate this option, and hence a search for "xyz" only returned files or folders called exactly "xyz" and nothing else. Activating the option cures the problem.

I thank you very much for taking the time to help me and point me in the right direction.

Best regards,

Antonio
