search for paths only and with wildcards [solved]

[itge13]

hello I want to find files which have "services" in its name and are in a folder containing "logs" in its name. no other details are known. How can I achieve this?

the file I am looking for is e.g.: C:\!logs\zServicesX.txt1

doesnt work:
match path option or path: shows also FILES with "logs"
\logs or \*logs or \?logs: first shows only ones starting with L the other two show nothing

proposal:
- maybe is it possible to add functionality if "file:/folder:" thingies are not empty i.e. that "file:xyz folder:zzz" looks for filenames containing xyz and folders zzz and file: alone with a space showing only files?
- add wildcard to path: and/or "\"

ok "pp:" seems to be the solution. didn't find it before, the link doesnt work: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=10176&p=37763#pp.

Using a wildcard will force Everything to match the entire filename/path.

Please try:

**logs**\*services*

This matches logs anywhere in the path part and services anywhere in the name part.



To match wildcards anywhere in the filename:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Search tab on the left.
• Uncheck Match whole filename when using wildcards.
• Click OK.

With Match whole filename when using wildcards disabled, search for:

logs**\*services



For others, to search only the path part, please try the following search:

pp:logs services

pp:



The following will find files/folders directly in a folder starting with logs:
logs*\*

The following will find files/folders containing services directly in a folder starting with logs:
logs*\* services

The following will find files/folders containing services directly in a folder containing logs:
parentname:logs services

The following will find files/folders containing services directly in a folder containing logs:
**logs*\* services

I have fix the pp: link, thanks for letting me know it was broken.
