How to search through the whole path, as if using Everything

[TheBestPessimist]

I have a folder D:/all/wallpapers/artstation/pics and nested folders here

In Everything, if i enable Search -> Match Path (Ctrl+U) i can simply type wall arts and it shows me all the correct files.
With FL, i have to type wall*/arts to have the same:

If i type wall arts i get the basic google search instead:

Is there a way to make FL work like Everything? Or pass the literal search term that i typed to Everything?

Here's another example of how Everything query looks, compared to FL. In FL it is extremely cumbersome to search in a "full path":

Well I don't really know how everything is handling this.....Though, what about marking all as * for everything query? @Flow-Launcher/team

If it helps with brainstorming, this might be related: #1805

basically, in everything i also use the Match Path flag:

which make (to my eyes) the following changes:

• search works in the full path, not just in the file name
• space ( ) works like regexp .* when matching through the full path

One more note: from what i can see, * in FL does not match folder delimiter (\).
That's why in my first example i cannot use wall*arts but i am forced to use wall*\*arts instead, So even with your suggestion, i'm not sure FL will do what i want.

I'm thinking that FL should instead should use the Match Path flag. Maybe the SDK gives an option for this?

Or even better, could FL simply pass the whole query string to Everything, and let Everything do its job of parsing it? This would probably make using filters or other functionality (eg. size greater than, etc) easier for the FL/Everything user. Basically the same query used directly in Everything will work from FL

Looking at the SDK, i think what we want is this: https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/sdk/everything_setmatchpath/
