Hi Nikos, hi group,
I tried to search in a folder named:
"C:\temp\080723.Patch fuer beide Spiele, beseitigt SSaver-Bug"
but I always get:
The "Look in" specification is invalid
Another folder in the same parent folder is searchable fine. I guess x2 gets confused by the long filename maybe?

the problem is the comma "," in the folder name. To make it work replace the comma by two commas in a row ",,"

It's a feature.
The comma is used as a delimiter between items in the search field.
Comma doubling is the workaround for the case where there is comma in an item's name.
