How to restrict search to partition D: only?

[pstein]

I have multiple partitions on my computer.

How can I tell Everything to search ONLY on partition D: for all entered search patterns?

Please try < and > to group search terms:

Code: Select all

d: <*.png|*.bmp>

Ok, thank you.

And a related question:

How do I exclude a certain pattern?

Assume I want to find all files containing

foobar

but NOT

dummy

?

Commonly a "NOT" is expressed by a minus before the pattern but

foobar -dummy

does not work.

How else can I define it?

[void]

Please use the ! for the NOT operator, eg:

Code: Select all

foobar !dummy

For the full search syntax, please see:

Ok, thank it works.

But just again a question about the restriction for a certain partition.

As you said users have ALWAYS to type in at the beginning

D: ......

to restrict the search to partition D:
This is rather uncomfortable and annoying.

Is there really no way to "pre-define" d: as the one and only partition where to search for patterns?

Alternatively: can users somehow let AUTOMATICALLY add "d: " for every search?

if not: Could you add this feature in the next release?

Thank you
Peter
