If your custom filter keeps returning **0 results**, check whether **Regex** is enabled.
I spent quite a while trying different search expressions like:
`ext:cbz;cbr`
and
`*.cbz | *.cbr`
Nothing worked—until I realized **Regex** was turned on.
When **Regex** is enabled, Everything treats your search as a regular expression instead of a normal wildcard search. If you're simply trying to filter by file extensions, turn **Regex** off and use a standard wildcard search, for example:
`*.cbz | *.cbr | *.cb7 | *.cbt`
As soon as I disabled **Regex**, my custom filter worked immediately.
Hopefully this saves someone else the same frustration.
