Dont continue matching subfolders

[Nr2arg]

Suppose I'm searching for:

Code: Select all

es -w -i -sort path-ascending folder:\SoftwareDistribution

The results are:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\EventCache.v2
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\PostRebootEventCache.V2
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\SLS
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\Logs
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\02fbd3861a0a12540c41a5dd9becb06d

I'm only interested in the first match:

C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

... the "root" of all the other subfolder

How can I stop matching the rest of the subfolders?

I've tried with several combinations of switches but can't get it right.

Please try the following search:

Code: Select all

es -w -i -sort path-ascending parent:c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution

parent: = limit results to a specific folder. (with no subfolders)



If you want folders only, please include folder: in your search.

Is this what you are looking for?

Code: Select all

es.exe   exact:"*\Windows\SoftwareDistribution"
