Finding Song Located in Artist Folder

Post by Orkplex »

Hi All,

I plan to organise my music so that it is as below:

Artist Name\Album Name\Song Name

In the test data below, how would I get Everything to return the result of Hold On.Flac by Buddy Holly?

Rolling Stones\The Brown Album\Hold On.flac
Buddy Holly\Greatest Hits\Hold On.Flac
Monkeys, The\Live At The Zoo\Hold On.Flac

If I search for Hold On, I will get all 3 songs with this name returned in the Everything result.
If I search Buddy Holly Hold On, nothing will be returned, as Buddy Holly is a folder name, and not part of the song file name.

I have tried different operators, but suspect that I need to change advanced search settings.

Please try enabling Match Path from the Search menu and searching for:

buddy holly hold on



Alternative searches:

"Buddy Holly\" hold on

Thanks, for some reason it was not updating the search results when I tried enabling this after search had been done, but it is working now after enabling path and doing a new search.

I came close with the alternate search, I was trying "Buddy Holly" "Hold On", back slash makes all the difference.
