Find And Run Robot / Possible bug when searching for folders

« on: January 19, 2006, 06:41 PM »

Hi Mouser,

I've noticed that when searching for folders, F&RR can find the following (when searching for ABC):
c:\ABC
but not:
c:\DEF\ABC

Both c:\ and c:\DEF are in my search folder list.

Find And Run Robot / New feature idea

« on: December 13, 2005, 04:42 PM »

This is a way to differentiate between search for files and search for folders. If the string entered in the FARR dialog contains a backslash, the there should be a bonus added to folders that match the search criteria.

Maybe there are other ways to implement this, but the above seems to fit with the way things are currently being done.

Find And Run Robot / It it soup yet? And interesting behavior

« on: November 08, 2005, 06:33 PM »

Of course, I am referring to 2.0 

I've also observed some interesting behavior with FARR. I have a dual CPU system, and two copies of FARR are loaded whenever I enable the option to run when windows starts. I've tried a reinstall and cleaning FARR out of the startup folder, and the behavior still occurs. This is not a biggie, but just thought you'd like to know. I am running 1.7.20.

Find And Run Robot / Handling of multiple keywords

« on: October 15, 2005, 11:16 AM »

Hi,

Some time ago, I posted a similar question in this thread:

https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=888.0

So, in searching for a file called first_second_last.ext, I'd like for that file to be returned in the results window if I enter any of the following:

first
first second
third second
first .ext

I hope the above is clear. Maybe this is something planned for 2.0?

Find And Run Robot / Handling of spaces

« on: September 11, 2005, 03:19 PM »

Hi,

I don't know if this is a bug or not. I have quite a few files on my HD that are named something like this:

first_middle_last.xxx

With an underscore used as the delimiter. If I use FRR to search for the string:

first middle

The file first_middle_last does not appear.

I think it would be great to have an option to define certain characters as being delimiters, and maybe have them be ignored in the search, or have some sort of weighting scheme for them.
