General • Ignore colon in search - am I missing an option?

Hello,

This is my first post so, please, be gentle
I'm on Windows which means colons in filenames are prohibited. I am doing a PhD where most articles I search for have a colon in their title. So I'd like to be able to drop a title (which includes a colon) into Everything and, without manually deleting the colon, have Everything ignore it.
I've read that one way to achieve this result is to select Search>Disable punctuation but I don't have that option.
Given that, could someone guide me on the best way to achieve my goal?
Thanks very much!
PS I'm on Version 1.4.1.1032 (x64)
