Is there a way to search and highlight files in a folder with a certain word in the file name? Thanks.

Hello !
- You could try as masks :
word*.*
*
word.*
*
word*.*
…supposing the word is indeed always the same, and that several extensions can exist for these files…
- I guess that
Regular Expressions would allow to perform this as one go, but they are not supported in XnView currently, AFAIK.
Kind regards,
Claude

Use the
Tools menu >> Search…
- You get a dialogue with all needed fields.
You may type the mask(s) in the first upper field for the filename.
- You can see that dialogue in the online Manual
HERE 
- You can state the directory in wich the search must be performed…
Kind regards,
Claude

But can the results be shown in the pane, and highlight the files for you?
Thumb-nails....

The results are always displayed in a thumb-nails board …
- XnView is
not a file-manager, so it can't display lists in panels, at least currently…
