Folder only searching & Find only folder with sub folders

[InfoR3aper]

I have Everything set to only search Folders

So I am using this to search for Folders only, not any files

folder: attrib:D child:season

What I was hoping was that it would return folders that contain the word Season as a sub folders of the folders in the path.

It is also giving me folders in the root path though, so is there a way to tell it to go 1 level deep to search? Meaning Ignore the parent folders containing the word.



I am also trying to search from a specific path and have Everything tell me which parent folders in that path have a sub folder in them. Not by using name.

So basically tell it to start in D:/Videos/ and only list folders in that path that contain sub folders.

For Everything 1.4, you'll need to use an intermediate filelist:

• In Everything, search for:
  folder:regex:^D:\\Videos\\[^\\]*\\[^\\]*season[^\\]*$
• Check if this is matching the desired folders containing season.
• From the File menu, click Export....
• Change Save as type to: EFU Everything File List.
• Choose a filename and click Save.
• From the File menu, click Open File List....
• Select the file list you saved earlier and click Open.
• Search for:
  parent:D:\videos
• Only folders directly in D:\videos will be listed that contained a subfolder, with another subfolder containing the text season in the filename.
• When you are finished with the results, close the file list:
• From the File menu, click Close File List.

You've given me a few ideas to make this really easy in a future build using descendant:*\*season*
Thank you.



Everything 1.5 has childfolder: and file list slots to avoid the intermediate filelist.
The following Everything 1.5 search might also be helpful:
parent:D:\videos descendantfolder:season

I am not exactly sure why, but these 2 search terms return Zero results

child-folder:season
child-folder-name:season

child:season returns 18,765 results

Is there something I am missing?

childfolder: requires Everything 1.5.

Totally missed that.

Could I suggest maybe creating a BETA Link on the main download page?

Whenever I create a new VM that is the first place I go to get the latest edition.

Will be more than happy to constantly use the Beta version and report any issues with it.

There is 1 other thing maybe in your Help Menu having a Update Beta, meaning at anytime even if using Beta can see if there has been a Beta Update.

By the way Everything is hands down the best tool I ever used!

Huge thanks for not only developing it, but for all the additional work you do in support etc!

Everything 1.5 is not quite beta yet.

Once it's beta I will definitely add a link on the main page.

There's an in development link on the main page that goes to the Everything 1.5 alpha page.

Thanks for the suggestion.
