Find files/folders in path which contain string

Post by ghost54770 »

Hello everyone,

I want to search fils/folders in path which contain specific string
Example :
"D:\photo\photo birthday Thomas\......"
"D:\photo\pictures birthday Lucie\......"
"D:\photos birthday Max\......"
"L:\birthday\......"

How can I find JPG files in paths that contain "birthday" string ?
and
How can I find folders named "2020" in paths that contain "birthday" string ?

Easiest way:

Enable Match Path from the Search menu and search for:

birthday *.jpg



For more control, please try the following searches:

path:birthday *.jpg
(matches birthday anywhere in the full path and name)

**birthday**\*.jpg
(doesn't match birthday in the name part)

How can I find folders named "2020" in paths that contain "birthday" string ?
Include the following in your search:

path:birthday folder:2020

folder:**birthday**\*2020*

folder:**birthday**\2020
(matches folders named exactly as 2020)
