Rich, > The “name extension” does not include the period, so omit that.
[Assume standard rage against file-name extensions has been expressed here.] The full-stop is, strictly speaking, the delimiter character between the file name string and the file name extension string. In day-to-day use, however, and at least in the software-centric technical circles I work in, the noun phrase ‘filename extension’ means the characters after the full-stop **and** the full stop. That is, people talk about `.zip` files and `.md` files and `.json` files, and `.ts` and `.c` files. And they pronounce the full-stop (as ‘dot’) when speaking. And they write the full-stop as per the examples above. Which is a linguistic argument, at least, for ‘Name extension’ to treat .string and string as equivalent. > You also have turned [o]n “Search compressed files” (behind the Options > button), which enables searching in Zip archives. Here was the magic (and entirely obvious in retrospect) checkbox I’d overlooked. Many thanks for this.
