How to force the Explorer search to show ONLY the files that match the search target?

I frequently need to search for files with brackets in the name of the file.    However, a bug in the Search Explorer means that search results will fill up with a lot of waste that does not match my search target.

Example:

At a command prompt "dir/s * (abc) *.» ' * ' usually works: the name of each file found will contain "(abc)".   (The only time that a search for the command line fails is when the version 8.3 of the name of the file matches the search target, but the name of the actual file does not work.)

However, in Solution Explorer, look for "* (abc) *.» "*" returns all files with 'abc' in the name, and provides no way to filter the results so that I only see files with '(abc)' in the name of the file.

This search bug means that you want "* (de) *.» ' * ' at the command prompt returns 72 hits, while searching with Explorer returns 7381 hits!

Cancellation: Another inconvenience of Windows is when I work at a command prompt I get often unexpected results because the wildcard matching is done against both the full name of the file or folder and the name of 8.3.   Is there a way to force cmd.exe to restrict the wildcard matches only the complete names of the files and folders?  That is to say, is there a way to force cmd.exe to never, ever, use the 8.3 names?

Hi Rob,

In order to quickly provide a solution, please answer this question:

Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Method 1: If you have problems of location of the files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the search and indexing of troubleshooting to solve the problem. It ensures that the Windows Search service is running and checks if you have the correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.

See the article below for additional information and steps.

Open the troubleshooter for search and indexing

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-search-and-indexing-Troubleshooter

 

Method 2: I also suggest you to re - index files, then check. Follow the article below for the procedure.

  • Satellite C55 - how to force the games to use gforce GPU?

    Hello

    It seems that I have 2 graphics cards on my Satellite C55: a 4000 Intel and a gforce 740 m. I tried to force the games to use the gforce on Panel nvidia configuration, but in the games settings (for example in the Hardware tab of flight simulator 2004), shows only the Intel.

    No idea how to resolve this?

    Thank you

    > it seems that I have 2 graphics cards on my Satellite C55: a 4000 Intel and a gforce 740 m.

    The Intel GPU is part of the Intel
    The nVidia GeForce is the external graphics card and it can be used for the application of strong performance as games

    Check these youtube videos how to do this:
    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=WVBEPhE_Osg
    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=Zh4HCadTY_A

    You can assign any application to use the dedicated made Intel or nVidia GPU card.
    This can be done in the nvidia Control Panel.

    1. click on start and then Control Panel. Select Classic view in the left side of the window.
    2. double-click on the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    3. click view, and then add the "Run with graphic processor" Option to the context Menu. Close the NVIDIA Control Panel.
    4. right click on the title of the application and select run with GPU. Then, click on NVIDIA processor high performance.

  • How to force the previews to render in the library module?

    Is there a quick way to force the previews to be rendered for display in the library (grid or Loupe mode) module? Often after the import of my RAW images using the setting of the "Minimal" Preview, it takes time for the previews to show for viewing in the library module (sometimes they make for a very long time even if selected). I often have to go to the develop module and select images one at a time just to force rendering. So I'd like to have some tips/shortcuts to do this.

    Also, maybe someone could also explain how the Preview rendering (i.e. process How LR3 chooses those to return and in what order).

    Thank you... Randy

    Select all the images or any of them and use the library - made of standard previews.

  • How to force the screen sharing to use Ethernet 2 port?

    Hello

    I have 3 MacPros connected in my studio. MP1 is the master and I use screen apart to see MP2 and MP3. Now, I bought a very quick switch to connect these 3 between them via the Ethernet Port 2 MP1 and at the same time have the MP1 connected to the internet and printers, servers and so on with 1 Port Ethernet. But this is not possible, because the screen sharing will prefer to use the port where the internet/router is connected.

    When ONLY Ethernet Port 2 is active, screen sharing using this port and it works perfectly, but when turn on again once, 1 Port Ethernet 2 remote Mac loses connection.

    Is there a way to force the screen sharing to use Port Ethernet 2?

    I don't see 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless as a capacity of connectivity for each model (6310 and 6310xi) of your printer. It is most likely the reason why your laptop is not 'see' it.

    There is a bluetooth wireless connectivity. It's a different way of connection that allows only printing capacity.

    You give more than the number of series in your laptop so I have no idea if bluetooth wireless is installed as a standard option. If it is not installed, you must buy a bluetooth dongle to wWalMart and set it up to use that feature.

  • How to force the virtual keyboard to hide?

    I am developing an app for BB Storm and I need to force the virtual keyboard to hide and close pushing / croustilleur between the screens.  I tried to set the visibility state of the keyboard during the initialization of each screen via Screen.getVirtualKeyboard () .setVisibility (VirtualKeyboard.HIDE_FORCE), but it does not work.

    The documentation for the keyboard interaction and screen is sparse, at best, I wish RIM would improve their docs.

    I found the problem.  It turns out that only the control (not the screen) who "owns" the virtual keyboard can show/hide it.  So I was able to hide the keyboard by substituting the method onUnFocus of the input area and hide the keyboard.  This seems silly as the reference for the virtual keyboard is obtained from the screen object.

    protected void onUnfocus()
    {
    super.onUnfocus ();
           
    VirtualKeyboard vk is UiApplication.getUiApplication () .getActiveScreen () .getVirtualKeyboard ();.
    vk.setVisibility (VirtualKeyboard.HIDE);
    }

  • The search in Windows Explorer has stopped working properly - it does not find the files which are there, but will find other files that match the search criteria

    Window 7

    Was working before, but have only allowed a number of updates to Windows that had been blocked for a while.

    For example. Type 'safe' in the search box. It finds files and directories with 'security' in the title, but not the files and directories that I can see are there with 'safe' in the title.

    When I search using the "safe * ' it seems to do exactly the same thing as"safe ".  It does not show only files beginning with 'safe'

    My suggestion was not ' safe * ' but ' name of the file: ~ safe * "(without the quotes).
