how do I search for the folder containing this file?

Post by voidtoolsUSER9900 »

I don't know English, I try to use a translator.

Hello everyone, how do I search for the folder containing this file?

Usage scenario: I need a music folder containing LRC lyrics files (.lrc).

But there are too many folders and I don’t know which one contains the lyrics file.

So I want to use Everything to highlight folders containing .lrc to increase search efficiency.

(I don't want to know where the .lrc is, I just want to know "which folder it is in so I can quickly import the music player list")

I typed folder:.lrc to no avail, it feels very useless in my case, but thank you in advance if you have an answer.

Please try the child: search function:

child:*.lrc

This will list folders containing a lrc file.

It really works, I didn't expect it to be that easy, thank you. :)
