If I was looking for file-name.ext, could I find it by searching for filename? Is there an option I can use for this kind of search? What about the case of looking for "file name.ext"? Basically, I'd like to ignore non-numeric and non-alphabet characters.
Thanks
Can I find "file-name" if I search for "filename" ?

Try search:
or
Code: Select all
file?name
Code: Select all
file*name

Currently no, a search option to ignore punctuation is on my TODO list for Everything 1.5.

@salazor, how are those searches working?
@XZN, you can simply not type the characters you don't want to search for.
So instead of file-name, use file{space}name.
Now that might also return unwanted results, but you might be able to group or filter to get more precise results.
