(1) How do I search 4 named folders? Is there some way to list each one as one search in the search box?
(2) If the 4 folder names all start with a string which is not used by any other folder then can I use a wildcard to specify the folders?
Here are the folders I have in mind:
C:\@@RECORDING NEW
C:\@@RECORDING OLD
C:\@@RECORDING CURRENT
C:\@@RECORDING ARCHIVE
Thanks for any help!

Re: Searching multiple folders
I believe that I have the same question:
Is there a search syntax for searching all files having the string in the file name, but only if contained in a folder having the string in the folder name?
Suppose there are many folders with this string in the name.
Is there a search syntax for searching all files having the string
MyFooFile
MyBarFolder
Suppose there are many folders with this string in the name.
Re: Searching multiple folders
And I think I found the solution.
This program rocks like mad
Code: Select all
"d:\**MyBarFolder**" MyFooFile
Re: Searching multiple folders
In Everything 1.5, there is also:
d: pathpart:MyBarFolder MyFooFile
(Right click a column header and click Search for...)
path-part:
parent-name:
d: pathpart:MyBarFolder MyFooFile
(Right click a column header and click Search for...)
path-part:
parent-name:
