Hi everyone,
I'm new to this software and I'm really enjoying how convenient it is. However, I have a question about searching for folder contents using wildcards. Here's my scenario:
I have the following folders on my desktop:
I don't get any results. I was expecting to see all the folders that contain the word "tes" in their name, but no results appear.
However, when I search using a specific folder name like:
or
It works fine, showing me the contents of that folder.
Ideally, I'd love to use a "lazy typing" method where I can quickly find the contents of folders with long but unique names without having to type the full name. Is there a way to achieve this kind of search functionality?
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
