quick search problem

Post by *ado »

From time to time I am hitting this weird problem (7.5x) with quick search (not that I can repeat it only from time to time, but I just need this from time to time)...
I have directory with ~100 log files with names like this:

Code: Select all

app.aa.log
app.bb.log
app.cc.log
app.zz.log
app.log
(the same prefix and suffix, unique part is in the middle of the filename)

When I want to quickly find that last file app.log, I just cannot use quick search - it just does not work. I press Alt-a and then continue with pp.log - so I have small quick search window with app.log, but for some reason, this name matches all files and not just the last one.
Am I missing some setting? Or is it feature?
any suggestions?
thx

It is a feature that may be disabled. Please read here, I've asked similar question recently.

FYI: It works out of the box with QuickSearch eXtended.
