FreeCommander XE 2020 Build 810a 32-bit public
Windows 10 Home, Version 1909

To reproduce:

Create two folders with the following names:
- one
- two; 2
Create empty "test.txt" inside folder "two; 2".
Select both folders "one" and "two; 2" and press Ctrl+F.
Search for "*" and "test.txt" should not show up in the results!
Without the semicolon in the folder name, the file does show up.

This specific problem doesn't exist anymore. However, the following happens:

In the search dialog, next to the search-in textbox, press the "+" button and "Browse..." ("Durchsuchen ..." in German).
Choose a folder containing a semicolon. The path of this folder was now incorrectly added to the textbox without having been enclosed in double-quotes, which leads to the folder just added being ignored in the search.

It is fixed for the release 876.
Such paths must be defined with double quotes:
"d:\aa\fc;876"
