Inconsistent Search Results

Hi,

I’ve noticed this below so I would like to know if this is expected behaviour:

  1. I do a search with “name:~Random” and I get below, which is expected / correct:

  1. however If I do search with “name:>.smmx” the result does not contain “Random” file, but it should according to my expectations:

Am I doing something wrong, or this is some bug ?

Thanks
Cheers

The Name search field doesn’t include the extension. Search for Extension instead.

3

name doesn’t include the extension, use filename:>.smmx instead or simply extension:smmx

4

But then why show up so many files with that extension in the search result?

exactly … that is what was misleading me as well …

but now reading @cgrunenberg reply I recall that in past I was using “filename:” instead “name:” .. which is why I didn’t build muscle memory for “extension”

Thanks all for reply, appreciated
