Search fails if Folder name has comma in it?

I had a problem today trying to do a search via file explorer against a
folder that had a comma in name. I got message saying 'The specific path does
not exist'. After rebuilding indexes, renaming and recreating named folder I
determined that the only problem was that the folder name had commas in it.
If I renamed and took commas away I ws able to search folder again. Is this a
known problem and is there a fix available? Grateful for input.

RE: Search fails if Folder name has comma in it?

Hi, this is not a reply. I got a problem realted to renaming folder. ANy time
I crete a new folder, its name just "New Folder (4) or any number indicating
the order of the new folder named New Folder I had created. When I try ti
rename the folder, it fails and a sign appears telling me that "the file or
folder does not exist".
Is any help for my problem?
Thanks
