About File Lists
I was interested in creating a File List to refer to as a catalog in lieu of another software (called WinCatalog, I grew tired of it's clunky interface and poor search results). So, before diving in, I looked up the process that needs to be followed to create one, and more importantly how to update ...

Re: Run a file to search a predefined query
Is there a way to use relative path with respect to where the shortcut is located and the location for which the search needs to be performed?
In my case the search needs to be performed in a directory which is one level up, relative to the location of the shortcut file.

Move through history with Scroll Wheel when Mouseover the Search text field
What the title says.
Basically the way it does with Filters when you have View > Filters Bar turned on.
Right now with Mouseover the Search text field, scroll wheel just scrolls through the search results, and there is plenty of screen real estate to scroll through them anyway.

I meant if I enter \work as the query, only files are listed in the result, no folders.
And if you add folder: to that, well then the result is just empty (because it did not show folders in the previous query)
