I'm encountering a strange behavior when I search for files with a format of a serial number consisting of 4 digits, a space, a letter, and a digit (#### B#). Specifically when that letter is a B.
For example I have a directory with the file 1234 B2.txt
. The windows file search finds it if I type 1234 B
, but not when I type in 1234 B2
. It's like when B# follows a number it's some kind of modifier to the search. Text B2
will find a file so named, and 1234 A2
will as well, but 1234 B1
, 1234 B2
, and 1234 B2018
will all return "no items match your search" even if there is a file with that string in the file name.
This is happening on Windows 7 and is happening to several computers I've checked so far. Anyone have any ideas?
