Hi! :-)

Suppose I want to filesearch for all filenames containing the words "pretty" and "poison" regardless of what seperates them, be it a space, a -, a _, whatever. How do I enter that into the search field?

Thanx in advance :-)


Use Wildcards :
? = one word
* = one or more words

for example :
pretty*poison


if you are sure that there is only one word between pretty and posion:
pretty?poison

Ahhh, caught you! I bet you meant:

if you are sure that there is only one CHARACTER between pretty and poison:
pretty?poison
