File name filter

The File name filter is used to filter search results based on the path of the files and directories being crawled. There are several modes that are available to the filter:

• Wildcard: The Windows-familiar wildcard format
  • Example: *.txt will match help.txt
• Plain text: A substring of literal text
  • Example: elp will match help.txt
• Regular expression: A PCRE-compatible regex pattern
  • Example: \d{4}\w+\.txt will match 1994help.txt
• List of extensions: Not yet implemented.

Checking the box labeled Case sensitive, where applicable, will cause the path's string to be compared to its pattern in a case sensitive manner (case sensitivity is disabled by default). If case sensitivity is enabled, Help.txt will not match help.txt. It is rare that this feature will be used on NTFS/FATxx systems.

The File name filter can be disabled by un-checking the box to the far right of the label, just above the pattern text box.
