how do I limit searches in two specific folders?

[swapjim]

I want to limit my searches in only two folders, each one located in a different drive:

Code: Select all

c:\tools
e:\downloads

The Options > Indexes > Folders takes time to scan, and I need to wait till the next scan to get a filename. I also tried to set the filter parent:c:\tools;parent:e:\downloads; from Search > Organize Filters, but that didn't work.

Is there a way?

Try

Code: Select all

c:\tools|e:\downloads

[swapjim]

Try

Code: Select all

c:\tools|e:\downloads

Didn't work. I got no results at all.

Please make sure regex is disabled from the Search menu.

You may need to use < and > in Everything 1.3:
<c:\tools|e:\downloads>

The '<' and '>' aren't necessary. I had Regex enabled in the Edit Filter window.

Thank you! That saved the day!
