I'm trying to filter out search results in windows explorer, in such a way that it should retrieve only the files containing a " character.

e.g. Document 001 "sendto" jane.pdf

I've tried:

  • "
  • ~="
  • ~="""

Also found promising threads but no one could answer this particular character.

How to search for a quotation mark in file explorer

Windows 7 search for file with a special character in the file name?

Well I think I found the problem.

In windows the regular quotation mark character is not allowed.

If we create a new file and input " in the file name it will block it.

However, I downloaded some emails into a folder and it uses a special/different quotation character.

I placed the mouse cursor over that character and copied it (ctrl+c) and I was able to use it freely.

I was then able to use the following filter

~="“"
