How to set "\[search]" to only search on/within folders?

[Coldblackice]

I could've sworn it used to be that when searching for "\" with a term appended to it, Everything only searched for and within folders beginning with that term. So "\house" would find include all folders starting with "house", but also show all files within folders beginning with "house".

Now, however, it appears this functionality also applies to filenames, meaning that even filenames with "house" are included in these results. IMO this isn't very helpful since the same could be found (as far as files) by merely searching for the term without the "\" and instead an appended wildcard "*". As such, the functionality to quick-search folder names + files within those folder names is lost.

Is there a way to restore this functionality where "\" only applies to folder names and not filenames?

Please try disabling regex from the Search menu.

If you want to use regex, use \\ for a single literal \, for example:
regex:\\house

The backslash would work for folders *ending* with house: house\
Maybe that is what you remembered? I don't recollect it working the way you described.
Otherwise this should do:

\house*\
