At what point?
As a part of the initial file search process?
As part of selection process of the results?

Depending on what follows the ), you might be able to get away with:

Search Method -> File name -> Find similar file names

with one of the Algorithms listed there (check the Help for specifics).


(If the Ignore options allowed RegEx... but they don't.)
(When I first looked at this thread, yesterday, I & until the moment I was about to make this reply, thought I was in the Bulk Rename Utility forums, heh.)

Yes, it would be good for search options to have "Ignore text before specific character" and "Ignore text after specific character" options.

But if wildcards could be used in "Ignore certain characters.."* or "Ignore certain strings.."*, then new options suggestin above will not be necessary.

(*) By the way, these fields are CaSe sensitive but not declared in the help file. Even it would be good also if options for case-sensitivity are present there.
