Hello,
Is it possible to create a filter that identifies folders and specific file extensions simultaneously?
Example:
I'm organizing video across various drives that all have Hawaii in the name. I've created a directory structure that is
Hawaii
Hawaii_2000
Hawaii_2001
Hawaii_2009
Hawaii_2014
etc.....
I'd like to see all video files and folders ONLY when I search Hawaii in a single window.
Thanks

Something like, .
hawaii video: path:
Re: Custom Filter
So what you're looking to find all the files, of any type, within "hawaii" ?
If so, just leave out video:
If you want video & some other extensions only, then do that,
And that very search can be set as a Filter (just the way it is).

To create a filter to search folders and specific file extensions:Is it possible to create a filter that identifies folders and specific file extensions simultaneously?
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters.
- Change the Name to: Folders and Videos
- Change the Search to: folder: | ext:mkv;mp4;avi
(add more extensions as needed, instead of ext:mkv;mp4;avi you can use video: ) - Click OK.
| = OR

I didn't use a pipe to separate the Search values on my previous attempts.
To think something so simple was hindering me. #detailsareimportant
