"Omit Results" command -- but as toggle?

Post by David.P »

Hello Community,

I have all my files saved in two locations:
  1. OneDrive (local copy)
  2. Local file server with Explorer drive letter (mostly synchronized with 1.)
I usually want to search for files in only one of these locations at a time.

What would be the best way to set up a toggle command to switch between searching in either OneDrive or the local file server?

Result omission profiles are on my TODO list.

For now, the best option is probably filters:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to Filters....
  • Change the Name to: OneDrive
  • Change the Search to:
    %userprofile%\OneDrive\
  • Click OK.
  • From the Search menu, click Add to Filters....
  • Change the Name to: Local
  • Change the Search to:
    !%userprofile%\OneDrive\
  • Click OK.
Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
