Search multiple but specific folders

Post by lordb »

Hopefully a simple question. I want display everything in 3 specific folders. Mind, I don't want to specifically search for something, just have the Everything program display everything in 3 specific folders in a single instance. I can limit the program to displaying 1 folder, and displaying everything across all my drives, but not specifically 3 distinct folders. I have media in 3 different folders across 3 different drives, and I want to look at all 3 at once, not my entire PC.

Please try the following search:

C: | "D:\another folder\" | "E:\other folder\subfolder\"


Use double quotes to escape spaces
| = OR

That seems to have done it. Thanks!

If I may ask one more question, is there a way to exclude a folder? Show me everything thing in Folder A, B, and C, but specifically do not show me this particular subfolder located in Folder B.

Prefix the path with !

For example:

<C: | "D:\another folder\" | "E:\other folder\subfolder\"> !"F:\folder\to\exclude\"


! = NOT
