Index only first level of folders

[frozst]

Hi all,

Let´s imagine that I have the following structure:

c:\DB\0001\(undred files inside)
c:\DB\0002\(undred files inside)
c:\DB\0003\(undred files inside)
c:\DB\0004\(undred files inside)
c:\DB\sample.txt
c:\DB\more.jpg

What I want to achieve is only index the folders and files on the first level of the folder DB (in bold), so exclude everything at level 2 so those hundred of files would be excluded. I can´t find any way of doing this.

Thanks in advance,

[mwsm]

Try:

Code: Select all

parents:2

Hi mwsm,

Thank you for your response, however that's a function to use in the search window. What I want to do is to create a rule to index the folder so the indexing excludes all the subfolders so it's faster.

So far I am using this:

c:\DB\*\*

However this indexes everything at level 2 as well, so it takes quite a lot of time to index while it should take a few seconds. At least that's what Explorer or Total commander takes to list the content at that folder.

Thanks!

You could exclude C:\DB\, Indexes | Exclude.
Then add your wanted folders as a Folder, Indexes | Folders.

No, that's not going to do it.

You could exclude C:, Indexes | NTFS, Include in database (uncheck).
Then add your wanted folders as a Folder, Indexes | Folders.

Nope. 0 for two.

Sorry, who are you quoting? I don't see that .
