I typically use an exclude path like "bin|obj" to eliminate searching folders that would match the entire name. However recently my searches began excluding files that contained the sequence "bin" and "obj" even if only as a portion of the files name. Is there a setting to prevent this wildcard approach to matching or is a newly introduced issue?

We'll test this out here and see what we can find out. I'll keep you posted as soon as we have more news :)

Thanks!

Ok, I've gone all the way back to 3.2, and the Exclude Paths box is always treated as a wildcard. We'll add an option for the next version to allow you to choose whether you want it to be always treated as a wildcard or not. In the meantime, if you just do something like this:

\bin\|\obj\

It should then only match the exact directories, because of the leading and trailing backslashes.

Hope that helps!

FileSeek 4.2 is now available, and there's now an option in the settings to choose whether you want the Exclude paths field to be treated as a wildcard or not :)

Thanks!
