I think I have this figured out. If you put anything in the box to the right of "Scan" it acts as a mask, or filter. Recuva scans for all files regardless of the mask. It displays those files that match your mask, and shows the rest as "ignored." For example, if you type in "gif" and there are no recoverable gif files, but 6000 others, it will show no files found and at the bottom display "[some info about your hard drive] Found 0 files (6000 Ignored) in xx.xx sec." -- Aarjay
