Chained searches

[j2associates]

It would be great if Search Everything supported chained searches where the results of Seach #1 would become the input to Search #2, etc. This feature would allow you to write general searches and then successive searches could become more and more refined / granular as needed.

As an example, let's say I want to help a client with some general Excel issues. So I do an initial search for *.xls* to find all the Excel files. Then by perusing the result set, I may want to filter more specifically in this or that area. But if chaining were enabled, I would still have my original result set to refer back to as we worked our way through the issues.

Thanks

Next time please tell us your TC version.
In the actual version there is an entry in the search results
F2 Search in found files/folders.

Horst.epp was mixing up this Everything forum and the Total Commander (TC) forum. You don't need to respond.

So is F2 search within found files/folders an active feature in Search Everything? If so, I didn't see it. If not, that would be a great way to implement Chained Searches.
