Search in selected folder

[jjk]

Sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am unable to do that :
In a Everything window, I select one folder, say C:\Windows.
What is the fastest mean to search C:\Windows\* ie all the files contained by the selected folder (here C:\Windows) ? Is there also a shorcut to do that ?

More : if I select two or more folders, say C:\Windows and C:\...\foo and D:\...\foo2, can I search easily see (in Everything window) all the files contained in those 3 folders ?
TIA

I'm not aware more than that info.

Thank you, Stamimail
But I hoped something less complicated .
With your answer, now I know Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the whole path.

Please make sure "Show Search Everything folder context menu item" is enabled:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab.
• Check Show Search Everything folder context menu item.
• Click OK.

Right click a folder in Everything and click Search Everything...

Another way is to copy the folder to the clipboard (Ctrl + C) and paste the folder into the search box. Note: only works when one folder is copied.

If you wanted to search - from within Everything, opening the Path of a filename, you could set up "EGO.BAT" (or EGOdir, Everything Goto Dir?) as a "SendTo".

EGO.BAT, http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 306#p18306.

You'd want to change it a bit, at the least removing the -search parameter.

Orig:

Code: Select all

C:\DEV\Locate\Everything.exe  -newwindow  -path "%cd%"  -search "%1"

To:

Code: Select all

C:\DEV\Locate\Everything.exe  -newwindow  -path "%cd%"

That would open the directory in a new window.


If you wanted it in the same window, just remove the -newwindow switch.

Code: Select all

C:\DEV\Locate\Everything.exe  -path "%cd%"

(And of course change the path to Everything.exe as needed.)


With that, right-click a file, Send To -> EGOdir.
The directory that file is in should then open.


Oh, & I assume this would work essentially the same as what Janus wrote (untested by me), http://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopi ... 859#p18859, just going about it differently.
