filtering results

[MentalMinion]

Hi folks.
i have 10 drives on my pc, and another 6 in a server. all cataloged by everything. however i would like to know if there is anyway of filtering just showing search results for one drive only. instead of all of them?

[void]

Include the drive letter + colon (:) in your search.

For example, to limit your results to the D: drive, include the following in your search:

d:



To limit your results to the E: or F: drive, include the following in your search:

e:|f:

| = OR



Consider adding a filter for each drive:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: C:
• Change the Search to: c:
• Click OK.
  (repeat for each drive)

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.



Everything 1.5 will have a folders sidebar.

I am searching video files by size just using a simple *.* however i want to see the results just on \\trunenas\18Tb
how do i use your method please?

[void]

Include the following in your search:

\\trunenas\18Tb



To add this as a filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: 18TB
• Change the Search to: \\trunenas\18Tb\
• Click OK.

thanks, that seems to work ok

Please also consider a shorter macro:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: 18TB
• Change the Search to: \\trunenas\18Tb\
• Change the macro to: 18tb
• Click OK.

You now only need to search for: 18tb: instead of: \\trunenas\18Tb\
