How to search between multiple folders (on same or different drive)???
i was trying to create a new search filter in your tool Search Everything Version 1.4.1.895 (x64), but there is no possible way to do so.

I tried searching in your site, looked up your docs but found nothing as such.
Then I tried selecting multiple folders in the explorer and right clicked, in context menu I clicked search everything in hope that this will give me the required query string, but nope.

Looking for a solution for this problem ASAP.
Thank you in advance.
Love your app - Everything, my productivity portion. <3

Try:
"c:\Program Files"
"d:\Folder"
Query

"c:\Program Files"|"d:\Folder" Query

Doesn't that have to be in brackets, otherwise Query is only applying to d:\Folder ?

< "c:\Program Files"|"d:\Folder" > Query


With that, it is:

"c:\Program Files" Query
or
"d:\Folder" Query

(Though not really sure what the OP is looking to do.)

I guess it because of the setting:
Options > Search tab
Operator precedence: OR > AND

wrapping with brackets <> (as therube said) is more correct.
