how do i filter out files in a directory that have a certain name?

Post by BigDan »

I know how to filter out files in folders when I have the specific path. But I'd like to filter out all files when the folder has a certain name. In this case there's a folder called appsumo. I'd like to filter out all the search results *any time* appsumo is in the file path. How do I do this?

Thanks!

Add
!\appsumo\
to your search query.

( ! means NOT in Everything lingo)

Thanks! If the folder name is longer can I just type in "!\appsumo" ?

Correct.
And if the appsumo part is somewhere in the middle of the foldername, you can use
\*appsumo*\

If at the end of the foldername:
appsumo\
