Posted January 1, 2014 Maybe it would be possible to add RegExp as filetype in Search as an option! While making this happen is possible, it would very much be an ineffective feature addition. Because it would only work between supporting clients and while most existing clients have regex in some capacity in them they would need to support this very specific feature for that to be of any use. Edit: if you want to push for this to happen I would make the request over at DC++, because one it would need to be drafted and created as an extension to ADC and by DC+ supporting it would also mean wide support in clients. However, even with all this, it would only be functional within ADC hubs not on your run of them mill NMDC hubs because NMDC protocol development has essentially ceased in favor of ADC.

Posted January 1, 2014 After looking into it a bit, this apparently used to be a thing, however, it has some pretty bad potential problems (see link) http://www.dcbase.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=695&p=2486 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2014 It was just an idea, because it would make it easier for Operateros to search for forbidden files, like in ADL Search. That was all it was about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 2, 2014 It was just an idea, because it would make it easier for Operateros to search for forbidden files, like in ADL Search. That was all it was about! Let me give out a little known fact, searching files through a hub has a protocol level hard limit of 10 or 5 (passive) results per each unique user. So in that sense you should always search for undesired files through ADL search because that goes through the entire share. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
