I want to limit my searches in only two folders, each one located in a different drive:
The
Options > Indexes > Folders takes time to scan, and I need to wait till the next scan to get a filename. I also tried to set the filter
parent:c:\tools;parent:e:\downloads; from
Search > Organize Filters , but that didn't work.
Is there a way?

Please make sure regex is disabled from the Search menu.
You may need to use < and > in Everything 1.3:
<c:\tools|e:\downloads>

The '<' and '>' aren't necessary. I had Regex enabled in the Edit Filter window.
Thank you! That saved the day!
