Help with descendant-folder:

[TersonWatt]

I am using:

"any folder name" descendant-folder:1 descendant-folder:2

I'd like the results to only return folders containing descendant folders named exactly "1" and "2" and exclude folder names that have a 1 or 2 in them. I've tried using

"any folder name" descendant-folder:exact:1 descendant-folder:exact:2

but the results are not what I was expecting. I guess I've not found the right syntax. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Please try the following search:

"any folder name" exact:descendant-folder:1 exact:descendant-folder:2

Search modifiers must appear on the left of search functions.

Thanks @void. Exactly what I needed. Works perfectly. Cheers Terson

Lack of syntax knowledge again. I'm trying to search for folders that have MP3s with the year 2024.

I can find the MP3s using year:2024

I've tried using descendant-file:year:2024 This shows me folders where the MP3 filenames contain "2024".

Is there a search I can use to look at the Year stored in the MP3?

Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Everything can do this with a two-pass search.

First search for:

*.mp3 year:2024

Select all the results (Ctrl + A)
Copy all the filenames (Ctrl + Shift + C)

Change the search to:

childfilelist1:

Press F2 in the search box to edit your file list.
Paste your filenames and click OK.



To show the year column:

• Right click the result list column header.
• Click Add Column...
• Search for: year
• Select Year and click OK.

Thanks @void. The folders containing the 2024 MP3s appeared when I selected Folders. Magic. Mind boggling!! I'll have to read up about childfilelist1:
