So, I like that ancestor: only shows the contents of a folder and its subfolders and files without showing similarly named folders elsewhere on the C drive. But my only question is how can I display the parent folder as well ? For example,
ancestor:"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder" will list everything in that folder But,
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder" will partial match other folders with a similar sharing name with
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder created from android"
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder backup June 2022"
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder without files"
ancestor with parent folder?
Re: ancestor with parent folder?
Add a backslash at the end:
(not sure what you try to accomplish though)
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder\"
(not sure what you try to accomplish though)
Re: ancestor with parent folder?
Im trying to isolate a certain path and not show other similar paths thats the idea
Re: ancestor with parent folder?
Do you want to display the "C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder" folder in the results too?
Please try the following searches:
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder\" | exact:"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder"
(easier to remember)
ancestor:"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder" | exact:"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder"
(easier to remember)
exact:"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder"<\**|>
(using group expansion)
regex:^[regexescape:"C:\Users\username\Desktop\test folder"](\\|$)
