Find files tripped me up in advanced search window.
When doing a search for, in the find files, Advanced tab setting the Attributes to hidden (or system) wont find files unless the show hidden(/system) files option is checked under the different menu of options/configuration/Display. If this is by design should not a warning appear when checking this under the search/find files that none will be found! It seems to my logic that whilst hidden files should not show up in the main window if the option is unchecked (default) they SHOULD show up under a file/folder search. Do you agree with me?

It is by design, the search function will only find files which are also displayed in TC. This is also true for files on the ignore list, they will not be found even if you explicitly enter the name in the search function.
