-regex and -path incompatible?

[aussieboykie]

Example:

es -r ^^winword\.exe$ correctly generates..

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\WINWORD.EXE

es -path c:\ -r ^^winword\.exe$ returns zero hits

Using -path works fine with a non-regex search.

Yes, this is a bug, -path is not converting the path to regex correctly.

es -path c:\ -r ^^winword\.exe$ returns zero hits

-path enables full path matching for all search terms.
-r enables regex for all search terms.

Everything will automatically use full path matching when you use <drive letter>:

Please try searching for:
es -path c:\ regex:^^WINWORD.EXE$

-or-

es c: regex:^^WINWORD.EXE$

-or-

es -r ^^c:.*\\WINWORD.EXE$

Thanks for the bug report.
