Copernic Desktop Search (CDS): Finding files by file name pattern (Windows XP)?

How do I use CDS to find files by partial file name? For example, all
*.DOC files without also finding DOCUMENT.TXT -- or all files with an
underscore in their name, such as *_*.SQL or VW_*.SQL? Any relevant
help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Caveman

 

I have both, but I mostly use Google now. I was very happy with
Copernic until Google put it's search engine into overdrive.

And so it goes.

Use the option to search filenames? It's in the helpfile.

..DOC is one of the choices, in Show Options , FileType choice.

Hi why?,

Using the .DOC option was a poor choice -- indeed it is in File Types,
though it also, strangely, shows files named Repository (no
extension!). From your response I presume that, however, that othe
examples I quoted *_*.SQL or VW_*.SQL are not available for search?

Thanks,

If I use The Word Document (*.DOC) in the File Type drop down it works
fine, it only displays *.DOC files in the matching files window.

You can also setup advanced options file extensions and select file name
only, this way it doesn't index the contents , which I quite like and
use it a lot.

The search operator to specify part of a filename is been useful
sometimes.

Are you entering .DOC in the 'Search For' box? That searches for
contents of any filter in the Refine Search box.

Why presume?

I don't have any files with names / extensions like that, try the Help
file if you want to search for a filename containing a word, read the
bit about 'search operators', between speifying an option in Search For
/ Refine Search it's done what I wanted so far.

If you try the correct search operator, and have setup a file extension
/ indexing type you may get on better.
