"White list" together with "Exclude list"

[Helix751]

Hi

I am actually using the "Exclude folders" list to exclude the Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\* files and folders to keep appearing on the search results as often there are similar/duplicate files that match the required ones.

But, there are some specfic files in subfolders inside the "Roaming" folder that I'd like to be returned for searched.

A "White list" that takes precedence over the "Exclude folders" list would be great to use them concurrently.

Thanks in advance.

Please try modifying your "Everything" filter:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Exclude tab on the left.
• Uncheck Enable exclude list (please make sure all files are included)
• Click OK.
• From the Search menu, click Organize filters....
• Select the Everything filter.
• Click Edit....
• Change the Search to:
  
  !"Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\*" | "Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\folder to show 1\" | "Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\folder to show 2\" | "Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\folder to show 3\"
  
  Change <user> to your username. Change 'folder to show 1-3' to the folders you wish to whitelist. | = OR
  This filter will be applied when the Everything filter is active.
  Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
• Click OK.
• Click OK.

Wow. Thanks for the heads-up! This actually did the job. Hadn't thought about filters instead of white/black lists. Paradigms.

btw, I'm currently using a combination of filters (for combinated filter out+in) and Exclusion list (to filter-out never-to-be-included folders)

Thanks again
