What's wrong with this search?

[terrypin]

I want to find all files which match door*.ino on drive D: OR cube*.ino on drive C:

Why doesn't the following work please:

door*.ino d: | cube*.ino c:

[NotNull]

Using the default Everything setting, OR is "stronger" than AND.

door*.ino d: | cube*.ino c:

For your search this will mean:
( D: OR cube*.ino ) AND door* AND c:

Subtitled: search all files that are on D: or are named cube*.ini
From the results, only use the ones that are on C: (that will undo the D: search)
The remaining results (cube*.ino) should also match door*.ino (and that will likely result in 0 matches)

You can use command grouping (see the Search Help page) to influence the order:

Code: Select all

<door*.ino  d:> | <cube*.ino  c:>

Alternatively, you can mae AND "stronger" than OR, by changing the Operator precedence (under Menu:Tools > Options > Search

Thanks NotNull, understood. Forgot about grouping.
