filter

Post by harryray2 »

If I put, for example, parent: followed by the path in the search box it works but if I create a filter then put the path in search and use the filter it doesn't work.

Also, if I put folder:parent before the path it works but it doesn't work if placed after the path.

Why is the order important? folder:parent: works but parent:folder: doesn't

As always...thanks.

Could you please open the debug console and try repeating the search:
  • In Everything, press Ctrl + `
  • Repeat the search
  • What is displayed in the debug console?
Please try filter functions.


folder: is a search modifier.
parent: is a search function.

Search modifiers must appear before a search function.

For example, limit the search to folders only in C:\Windows:
folder:parent:c:\windows
