I'd like to search files in a specific folder.

[ibluer]

Hello.
I'd like to know something about finding files.

1. C:\Mission of Computer\lesson1.txt
2. C:\1_Text\abc.txt

I type a command in search bar below.

1. Folder:Computer lesson txt
2. Folder:Text abc

but I can't get results.

How can I do if I get results by typing parts of folder name?


Thank you.

Enter a folder with a lower case letter

Code: Select all

folder:Computer lesson txt or folder:"Computer lesson"
folder:Text abc

this also will work

Code: Select all

\Computer lesson txt or \"Computer lesson"
\Text abc

Thank you for reply.

But it doesn't work.

Are there problems of settings in my program?

I captured it below.

In that case, try

Code: Select all

path:Computer lesson txt or path:"Computer lesson"
path:Text abc

This syntax works for sure, displays files and folders. Modifier folder: only shows folders

Code: Select all

\Computer lesson txt or \"Computer lesson"
\Text abc

Or >> Menu - Search - Match Path (Ctrl+U)

folder: will only find folders (directories), so no files at all.

Any number of ways to search for files within a particular folder.
Context-menu, Search Everything... & that will populate the search field for you, or else just type your wanted path in. (Enclosed in quotes if need be.)

Code: Select all

"C:\TMP\SEA\"  123

That will only find files (& directories if Match Path is enabled) within C:\TMP\SEA\ named "123".

So:

C:\TMP\SEA\.NET\123
&
C:\TMP\SEA\1234\A_README.WK3

folder: will only find folders (directories), so no files at all.

You're right.

It works below.

path:computer lesson


Thank you for your reply. It was really helpful!
