Exclude filelists in Filters

Post by zaadstra »

I am using some filters to narrow down the searchlist on local drives, nas drives (unc) etc.
The local filter selects on C: | D: | E: | R:.

Now I've added a filelist created on a remote pc, these files also show up because they have driveletters C:, D:, E: as well.
Is there a way to exclude (all) filelists from a filter. And optionally, build a filter with only filelist(s)?

I've been trying stuff like: C: | D: | E: | R: !"C:\Everything Search stuff\EFU lists\*.efu"
but obviously that doesn't work.

To find files/folders belonging to a filelist, please try the following search:

filelistfilename:.



To find files/folders not belonging to a filelist, please try the following search:

!filelistfilename:.
