Bug ID: 428950
Summary: Dolphin's Search does not respect wildcards and
ignores period symbol
Product: dolphin
Version: 20.08.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
Dolphin's Search does not respect wildcards.
For example, if I want to search all files with the extension name .tar:
If I searched for "*.tar"
It returns nothing.
If I searched for ".tar"
It ignores the period and lists everything that has "tar" in it.
Workaround:
1) Search for tar
2) Ctrl+I to call up Filter bar
3) Filter the result with .tar
or
Use KFind (which is not installed by default by many major distros including
Kubuntu)
This problem makes precise searching in Dolphin very confusing and troublesome.
Is it possible for Dolphin to respect wildcards? Or can we let it to at least
respect the period symbol so we can at least have an easy workaround? Thank
you.
