The first thing I always do is to switch off this nepo thing - meaning
that I don't use it. All I can do is offer a suggestion as to why you
are getting the results you are getting: that number is very
suspiciously like a date.
Perhaps one should use ' ' around the search word? dunno because, as I
said, I don't use this resource-gobbling monster.
(You know, it is rather strange......I use 99.9% of the time mc
(Midnight Commander) as my file manager and it has a search facility
which can also search the contents of files. And it does not tie up my
resources......)
