Maybe I didn't mention, that if I search for *.with, it gives the first 2 results, but if i look for *.with* it returns all 3. But like, a search of *.to doesn't return anything, but a search of *.to* returns the first 2 strings, if you get what I mean? It's like searching for files with the search tool. *.exe returns programs, yet *bat* returns anything with "bat" in the filename.
