Need help with Include / Exclude

Post by randy »

I have a folder named "1" containing subfolders.
There are other folders outside of folder "1" whose name begins with "1" e.g. "1A", "1 XYZ", etc.

I want the default to search only in folder "1" and subfolders, nothing else.
I thought this would be as simple as specifying "c:\1\" as an Include folder, but the results include the other folders beginning with "1".

Again, I want the default search only in folder "1" and subfolders.

Any help appreciated!

What version of Everything?

With Everything 1.2 you must specify include c:\1\ as the first exclude.

With Everything 1.3 you must specify c:\1 for include only for the C: drive in the NTFS tab.

I'm using v1.2, and I have specified c:\1\ as the first (and only) exclude, but folders named c:\1xxxx outside of folder "1" still appear in the results.
Here's a screenshot of the options; see any issues?

Excluding in 1.2 is broken, you might be able to get it to work by adding the following filter include to files and folders:

Code: Select all

?:\1\*
Please note this adds the 1 folder from each volume..

-or-

Please try the 1.2.1alpha or 1.3.1beta

Ok, thanks anyway for the suggestions.
Specifically, the 2nd backslash in "c:\1\" should constrain the search to c:\1 only, correct?

This also appears to work:
- Include c:\1\ applied to folders, subfolders and files
- Exclude c:\1*\ applied to files and folders
