I've searched for the text "M2_" in a MD file and DO 13.25 doesn't find the file. But finds the file with "M2_SIT".
Also doesn't find the file with "M2_S" or "M2_SI".
Why?
Textfile with the content
Search not found
Search found
Can we have a (zipped) copy of the file?
Full-sized screenshots could also be useful, as it's difficult to read the ones above.
Hi Leo,
just prepared a new test on my private PC.
Enclosed in a ZIP file
- the original README.md
- Test-Found.jpg when I search for "M2_SIT".
- Test-Not-Found.jpg when I search for "M2_SI".
Simply unzip the ZIP file into a test directory, then press Ctrl+F and set the search options to the same as mine (nothing out of the ordinary).
DO.zip (143.7 KB)
It looks like you just need to turn on the Partial match option.
Perhaps the documentation could be made a little easier to understand? Maybe with an example?
"M2" is found
"M2_" is NOT found
"M2_S" is NOT found (my original search)
"M2_SI" is NOT found
"M2_SIT" is found
"M2_SIT_" is NOT found
When performing a “simple” search for a string, I didn't realize that the string would only be found if it was entirely enclosed within delimiters (not a letter or number). Also because an underscore was in my search string.
Of course, normally I use wildcards or regex.
