Most duplicate finders only allow for example name or name+extension etc. where the name is fixed in front of the extension.
The request is for a auto name search detector or files with similar names.
To try eliminate confusion let me give an example:
I have a folder and sub-folders filled with different version of applications with various version numbers.
AllDupPortable_3.4.24.zip
GetFoldersize(Portable Edition)_2.5.24.zip
GetFoldersize(Portable Edition)_2.5.20.zip
GetFoldersize(Portable Edition)_2.5.0.zip
AllSyncSetupDemo.zip
Thus Alldup would show all results for files containing Getfoldersize*.*

Re: Feature Request: Variable Name results
Sorry, u cannot use wild cards like * or ? to detect duplicate files with AllDup.
Re: Feature Request: Variable Name results
Everything is quite adapt at finding "similar" file names (not dups, but names).
So if you wanted to find all "Getfoldersize", search for just that.
(And you could expand that to also include directories so named.)
Once you know where to look, & if the files are conveniently located, like within the same directory tree, you can then set AllDup loose on that tree to ferret out the actual dups.
