Search syntax to find files in specific folder?

[terrypin]

Could someone please remind me how to find files in a specific folder please? For example, I want music files *.ogg in the large folder C:\Docs\Sounds\Sound Effects\Country,Weather on my c: drive.

I tried \Country,Weather\*.ogg c: and C:\Docs\Sounds\Sound Effects\Country,Weather\*.ogg c: but neither worked. I can get the entire folder's contents displayed, but how do I narrow it down to the file(s)?

(BTW, where in Help is this covered please?)

Try:

Code: Select all

C:\Docs\Sounds\"Sound Effects"\Country,Weather

or

C:\Docs\Sounds\"Sound Effects"\Country,Weather\

And

Code: Select all

"C:\Docs\Sounds\Sound Effects\Country,Weather" *.ogg

Thanks salazor, appreciate the quick reply. That worked fine.

And it also works if I put the double quotation marks around the whole path. Or even this, with only the one :
"C:\Docs\Sounds\Sound Effects\Country,Weather\*.ogg

Are these subtle points documented somewhere I've missed?

A good start would be the basic search syntax:

Please consider having a look at the advanced search in the Everything 1.4.
It will show you the search syntax by building the search parameters in a UI.
Advanced search can be found under the Search menu.

Thanks, I'll try that, although I did look pretty carefully through the basic Search Help earlier.

Thanks a bunch, salazor, that's the sort of thing I was looking for.
