Search question

How can I search for mp3 in a filename and exclude the file extension? Is it possible?

[MVV]

You can try to find *mp3*.?* - this will find all files with mp3 in filename and with non-empty extensions. Or you can try to find *mp3*. *mp3*.?* - this will find files w/o extensions too.

Or use the plugins page:
"tc" "Name" "contains" "mp3"
(without the double quotes).

*mp3*.?* finds files with ANY (non-empty) extension. mp3 too.

It should be rather
*mp3*|*.mp3
(exluding mp3 extension).

Gral, but what if we shouldn't exclude MP3-files with mp3 in names?

Thanks everyone, I'm sorted out.

MVV - "exclude the file extension" i unterstood as a "NOT MP3 files in search results at all", maybe i'm wrong - curls decides what he wants.
Christian's method works in any case of course.

You're right, only topic starter knows what he wants.

BTW this method works like my one (it may select MP3-files too if their names contain mp3).

Right, ultimate solution then is (probably):

Plugins:
Combine with - AND
"tc" "name" "contains" "mp3"
"tc" "ext" "!contains" "mp3"

[MVV]

Combine with - AND
"tc" "name" "contains" "mp3"
"tc" "ext" "!contains" "mp3"

This is the same as *mp3*|*.mp3.

It seems i'm still (subconsciously?) exlude extension.
