Want to search a single folder only

[tdneren]

Hello

Before including the root c:/ folder in my searches, the Everything software keeps on including the c:/-folder.
This happens even though being excluded again >> I try to exclude by excluding the c:/-folder, which then excludes all folders - when I then remove c:/-folder and try to add 'the wished for'-folder, it jumps back into searching through all folders.

I think the easiest way is infolder:"C:\Your Single Folder\"

[tdneren]

So if I go to Tools/Options/Indexes/Folders there should be a tab called "infolder"?
(in such case fine by me ... and hope it solves my problem - still seems different from issue, where all the root hits appears and bother within results)

First of all: use \ instead of /.
/ is for www and unix; \ is what Windows uses.

I have a hard time understanding what you are actually asking., but I would give the same answer @Ice-Man did:

In the Everything search bar (right under the menu), type

Code: Select all

infolder:"C:\Your Single Folder\"

That will give you all files in the folder "C:\Your Single Folder\"

Ifyou want also files in subfolders of "C:\Your Single Folder\", type this in the search box:

Code: Select all

"C:\Your Single Folder\"

(You need to replace "C:\Your Single Folder\" with the actual foldername, of course (for example "C:\Windows")

Note:
The "" are not needed when the foldename has no spaces in it,

ok get the approach ... scripting the text field with a \ will work for me (as alternative to the/my 'lazy windows OS' handling)

Everything has a "lazy" setting, especially for you :

When you enable Replace forward slashes with backslashes , you can also use a / in the search box too, like c:/windows

That setting can be found under Menu:Tools > Options > Search
