So I have used UltraFinder more than I thought I ever would.
I have run into a strange problem that makes sense I think now so I would like to share it.
I was doping out a repository that I downloaded.
UltraFinder is awesome because you can search for files, directories, and inside files and it allows regular expressions
Only it was not working in this case. I realized that I had changed my Google drive setup so that it is no longer mirroring the drive contents.
So even though this data was in a directory tree that was "available offline" Windows doesn't index it because overall that drive content is "streamed".
When I figured this out I realized UltraFinder relies on the Microsoft OS indexing.
I was able to use FileSeek from Binary Fortress Software which I used to use more before getting UltraFinder to do some searching.
It does not however allow you to find directories. It only searches for files.
I kind of wish UltraFinder could handle the Google drive like FileSeek, but otherwise it's my goto.
Thoughts anyone else?
Maybe I set it up wrong?
