Search selected partitions

Post by burgundy »

Is there a way to search only selected partitions without going into Options and disabling the partitions I wish to ignore?

For example, let's assume I have partitions C: D: E: F: G: and all are indexed by Everything. For one search I might want Everything to show only what is on C: and D: (and ignore any hits on E: F: and G:).

Is this possible?

Something like

Code: Select all

regex:[^efg]:\\ filename.ext

Just enter the drive letter.

Code: Select all

C:   somethingtosearchfor

<C: | D:>  somethingtosearchfor

It's even easier with Everything 1.4, to search your C: and D: drive only, search for:
c:|d: filename.ext

Oh.
That depends on the setting of: Options General | Search -> Operator precedence: (which in my case is AND > OR).
