Hello, I'm hoping somebody can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. My OneDrive is frustratingly mounted in my filesystem at C:\Users\matth\OneDrive I'm trying to do a search for all video files with extensions .mp4 or .mkv larger than 25mb and not located within that One Drive, more specifically I want to exclude two particular folders in my One Drive from the search. I've tried using the following search but I'm still getting results from the two Folders I want to exclude from the search. Here is the format I'm using...
!C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\1 !C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\2 *.mp4|*.mkv size:>25mb
I've also tried using...
!''C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\1'' !''C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\2'' *.mp4|*.mkv size:>25mb
Can anybody please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance...

Re: Advanced search help - Trouble excluding One Drive folder from search
What is your Tools -> Options -> Search -> Operator precedence setting?
Does the following search help:
!"C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\1" !"C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\2" <*.mp4|*.mkv> size:>25mb
Notes:
Use double quotes (") to escape any spaces. -maybe there's spaces in your username?
Use < and > for grouping OR terms -only needed if your Tools -> Options -> Search -> Operator precedence is AND > OR
Does including the following help:
!"C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\"
Check without the ! to see if this correctly matches your OneDrive folder:
"C:\Users\matth\OneDrive\"
