[question] searching current folder only using fixed parameter

Post by asamirid »

greetings 👋🏼👋🏼..

here is my case, i want to search a folder that is 6 levels deep in the drive folder structure, as example "c:\folder_01\ folder_02\ folder_03\ folder_04\ folder_05\folder_06\", there is also 4 more levels after the folder i wanna search "folder_07\ folder_08\ folder_09\ folder_10\"

now i want to search the "folder_06" only not including any subfolder, just by typing the full path in the search box

"c:\folder_01\ folder_02\ folder_03\ folder_04\ folder_05\folder_06\"


i want to do that by adding a fixed parameter, i know i can do that using parents:7, but i need to use a fixed term that can be used with any folder depth like noparents: or parents:current or else, so i can use it anywhere without having to count how many folder levels before it,

or maybe "and i prefer" i can do that with a "toggle hotkey" without typing any parameter in the search box.

i searched the forum for help but i don't know a search term for that ..

sorry for my bad english 👀..
