Search for specific things in certain folders

Post by aga3412 »

Hey everyone, can anyone help me with my request? I'd like to search for a certain word in certain folders in my hard drives.

Example: The word "Chinese" or "chinese" inside any folder called "MOP" or "mop"

thank you =)

By default, Everything ignores case.

Code: Select all

\mop\  chinese
If you actually wanted "the word" (rather then the string), then use, \mop\ wfn:chinese or ww:chinese - depending on what you're looking for.

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for. Are you searching for files or for folders or files + folders?
Is "chinese" thecomplete name of that file/folder or just a part of it?


Anyway, try this:
- Enable Match Whole Word and Match Path (under Menu:Search )
- search for:

Code: Select all

*\mop\*chinese*
Don't forget to disable the Match Whole Word and Match Path afterwards.
