set specific folders for searching for contents of a files

Post by irish »

Is There a way to implent an option in advanced search to have an option to search in specific folders.

Oh, okay. i can just add the folder to bookmarks and then put in quotes what i want to search for.

But lets say i want to search for two items, or two different folders.
I'm sure it will involve using the | symbol.

Use | to separate paths.
Use double quotes (") to escape spaces
Use <> to group the paths together.

<"c:\path to\some folder"|"d:\another path to\another folder">

With Everything 1.4+ the < and > can be omitted.
