Find a folder with given multiple files, Files spread across subfolders

[koolestani]

What query would search a folder that contains File.A and subfolders that contain File.B, File.C (could either be the same subfolder that contains both File.B and File.C OR they can be in different subfolders).

Right now I'm using

child:File.A child:File.B child:File.C

This works like a charm when all three files are in the exact same folder (same directory level), but not when they are spread across various subfolders.

Thats because the space between the names are mean AND.
Try this one
child:File.A | child:File.B | child:File.C

Thanks for the reply
But this doesn't yield the desired result.

Please try the following search in Everything 1.5:

child:File.A descendant:File.B descendant:File.C

child: will only search direct children.
descendant: will search direct children and grandchildren. (subfolders)

This is perfect. Thank you so much.

Can we not use multiple words separated by space along with child: and descendant:? I tried with double quotes but it didn't work.

Use double quotes to search for a literal space:

For example:

child:"abc 123"



Use subexpressions to search for multiple words:

For example:

child:<abc 123>
-or-
child:abc child:123

(Everything sees this as child:abc AND child:123 )
