Under the
Search > Organize Filters... > Edit > Search
I have
Code: Select all
"C:\test folder A\" | "C:\test folder B\" file:
as I need a Filter that will look at the same time for files in at least two locations - but it does not work [i.e. it returns zero items]
Hence my question: what would be the correct expression to achieve this?
I tried looking for examples [
search.php?keywords=filter+multiple+paths ] but did not find them

See if grouping does anything for you?
<"C:\test folder A\" | "C:\test folder B\"> file:
(Though I still would have expected something to be returned? Oh, you might need a
path: in there too.)

This works A-OK when put in the box of Search Edit - but not when used in

Check if there's any search options checked in the filter under Search -> Organize Filters -> Select Filter -> Edit
Uncheck Match Whole Words
Uncheck Regular expressions

I do not know what I was doing previously wrong, but now it seems to work A-OK; probably I was too tired to see some obvious typo or ill-selected option
Thank you both for your help
