Not reproducible here. What are your fuzzy search options? Are you using Everything Search?
Is this v14 or v15 (or both)? x86 or x64?
Extended Directory Search level 1 with path C:\MyProgramFiles\JPSoft\TCMD15.
No Everything search.
Both 14.03.59 and 15.0.21 on x86 XP SP3.
Here's a fresh run of TCMD
Code:
HTMLDump plugin v1.0.5 loaded.
ISO8601 plugin v1.3.7 loaded.
SafeChars plugin v1.7.0 loaded.
Snapshot v1.0.1 loaded.
TextUtils v0.62.1 loaded.
TCC 15.00.21 Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

09:48:05 $I have FuzzyCD=3. Same platform, not using Everything. The command *cd = in 15.0.22 pops up a window showing most (or all?) directories in JPSTREE.IDX. However, until I manually enlarged the pop-up height, it only displayed one entry.
I traced through the code, and this is an artifact resulting from (1) Windows considering a '=' to be a delimiter / space character, so (2) the wildcard routine (called by the fuzzy searches) considers it to be a terminating character (for example, in an executable extension comparison). So it matches directories with no filename; i.e., root directories.
Modifying this would potentially break a lot of things, so since it's not harmful (and since it's worked this way for at least 15 years without issue) I'm inclined to leave it as-is.

In my situation, I found it by accident. Just reporting unexpected behavior so it doesn't bite somebody in the ass.
