Searching in multiple folders without writing whole paths in Search Edit box

[Thy Grand Voidinesss]

Currently a user searching for e.g. files in format abc can put in the Search Edit box a filtering expression like

Code: Select all

T:\Backups\2017;T:\Backups\2018;T:\Backups\2019 .abc

but is unable to use

Code: Select all

\Backups\2017;\Backups\2018;\Backups\2019 .abc

or

Code: Select all

\2017;\2018;\2019 .abc

while being able to use just such shortened paths

Code: Select all

\2017 .abc

Code: Select all

\2018 .abc

Code: Select all

\2019 .abc

but only individually [on a one-by-one folder basis]- thus making it hard to compare content of multple folders [without writing whole paths leading to them]


Could Everything be improved in this regard, so that whole paths would not be required?

backups/20

backups/201

/backups/20

/backups/201

Use whatever might happen to work for a particular situation.

Thank you for these workarounds, as they will surely work with an orderly collections of backups - but that was just a simplistic example


I myself not rarely need to narrow down my searches to some on the spot chosen multiple locations from various volumes which often bear similar names. And so something as inclusive as

Code: Select all

/201

that cannot be mixed with other fragments of paths usually will not do the trick
