Limit the search to a single folder:

Post by searcher1 »

When using:
Limit the search to a single folder:
c:\windows\ !c:\windows\*\*

Is there a way to return multiple unique items from that folder without repeat the whole expression.

Example:
To return the folders: "Fonts", "Assembly" and "Resources" from "c:\windows\" I could use the following expression.

c:\windows\ !c:\windows\*\* Fonts |c:\windows\ !c:\windows\*\* Assembly| c:\windows\ !c:\windows\*\* Resources

Is there a more efficient way to do this.

Thank You

Perhaps something like:

Code: Select all

parents:3  c:/windows  <fonts | temp | assembly>  {term}
If all you wanted were folder names, you could use something like:

Code: Select all

child:  parents:2  c:/windows  <fonts | temp | cursors>

Thank you for responding.

neither of these examples does anything.

I just copies and pasted the examples into the search box in everything
There must be something more to this that I am not aware of.
