Folders with this many subfolder's and files

[CityguyUSA]

If we can't see the result of the search doesn't that make it kind of pointless?

I'm searching for folders that have a lot of files. I seem to be able to return them but have no way of knowing if they're accurate or how many a folder actually has. You should give a column for the result of all search values. You also should ensure that the search types are set to return folders because it should never return files because we're talking about child items.

Using a search with "Folder: your_other_search_options" returns only folders.
Also, you can create custom columns as part of your search.

Please provide your search.

I assume you are using child: ? Maybe childcount:? childfilecount: ?

Everything 1.5 will have support for the following optional columns:
Child Occurrence Count
Child Count
Child File Count
Descendant File Count
and more.

Note that something like

folder: childfilecount:>999

will find folder that contain 1000 or more files (including in subdirectories ? not sure offhand).
So with that, you will know which folders have them.

If you want to see the count of files found, you can add the Property, 'Child File Count' which will then also display the actual number of files (along with the directory name).

folder: childfilecount:>999

(including in subdirectories ? not sure offhand).

Direct child only (no subfolders)
Use descendantfilecount: for subfolders.
