SUMMARY Searching files with asterisk or question marks in Windows returns no files. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. I have two files AAA-BBB.txt and AAA_BBB.txt that I want to get search finds them. 2. CTRL+F and in search box type in AAA*BBB or AAA?BBB OBSERVED RESULT No files are listed. EXPECTED RESULT I expect both files AAA-BBB.txt and AAA_BBB.txt to be listed in both search cases. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I actually use 24.07.70, but this selection is not available in bug reporting selection. I also tested on today's master latest Dolphin version dolphin-master-4933-windows-cl-msvc2022-x86_64.exe but this version is even more broken, search does not wok at all. It produces file protocol error, that I have already reported few months ago: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=492453
Can confirm the issue. However for me, when I search in parent folder of the folder where those files reside in, it works. But if I search directly from home folder it doesnt work. dolphin 25.03.70 Operating System: Fedora Linux 41 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.80 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 Kernel Version: 6.12.4-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600

This seems to now work, I think this bug can be closed. The search feature got a complete overhaul.
Thanks!

You probably need to double check this in your environment. Dolphin's internal "there and then" search obeys regex's. Heads up though, a regex is not the simple "glob" expansion you might be looking for if you are trying search asterisks and question marks. If you're searching for indexed files (you've indexed folders with Baloo), then the search is for words and not regex's or globs. The UI overhaul is a great improvement but there are still wrinkles...

I can find both files as depicted in the original bug report. Though instead of using AAA*BBB i need to use AAA.*BBB or AAA.?BBB
