Hi.
I'm trying to escape "!" character, but without success.
I have to find files with filename includes "foo" and "!".
Like this:
workfile!20.docx
If I put "work" and "!", all files like this "workfile10.docx", "workfile20.docx" and "workfile!20.docx" are displayed.
I need to force an "AND" operator.
Ideas?
How to escape "!" character - Suggestion not working
Re: How to escape "!" character - Suggestion not working
Does this get it, ?
work *!*
Re: How to escape "!" character - Suggestion not working
Please try searching for:
work "!"
prefixing a search with ! means NOT in Everything. Use double quotes to escape a literal !
Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)
Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Sorry, guys.
work "!" is working now.
I made some mistakes here. Because of very long filenames, I didn't notice that there was other "!" among letters.

Also, I found an option to make precedence to operators.
Default was OR > AND.
I changed it and put AND > OR.
What does exactly it causes?
Is it important over my original question?

OR > AND:
sonic tails | mario luigi == sonic <tails | mario> luigi
The search inside the < > brackets is performed first (OR).
Most search engines use this precedence.
AND > OR:
sonic tails | mario luigi == <sonic tails> | <mario luigi>
The search inside the < > brackets is performed first (ANDs).
Most programming languages use this precedence.
whitespace = AND
| = OR
sonic tails | mario luigi == sonic <tails | mario> luigi
The search inside the < > brackets is performed first (OR).
Most search engines use this precedence.
AND > OR:
sonic tails | mario luigi == <sonic tails> | <mario luigi>

No. It only effects the search if you mix both AND and OR operators.Is it important over my original question?
whitespace = AND
| = OR
