how the blinking heck do I have Search just look a _FILEWW_ names?
pyotr filipivich on Wed, 02 May 2018 09:04:14
-0700 typed in alt.windows7.general the following: I can't find a file I need, and when I search for "job", windows includes every freaking file in ever freaking DIRECTORY which has those three letters in them. forty eleven Cat pictures - because they are in the directory Jobby! something having to do with the flowers because the directory contains "jobola" How, or is it even possible, to get Windows to just search for "job" in filenames. This is one more thing which Windows 7 does, which I do not recall Win XP not doing. tschus pyotr Yes, I'm furious, I'm out of time and the presentation is not going to happen. Thanks to all for all the alternate program recommendations. I did find that by entering "filename:job" I can get just the files with job in the name, without the directories, or files with "job" inside them. I sometimes still wonder what these people are "thinking" when they set up these search default results. N.B. "sometimes". Sometimes I don't think much about anything. tschus pyotr -- pyotr filipivich Next month's Panel: Graft - Boon or blessing? |

Wait until you get into regex and SQL queries. |
