Search menu: Everthing, Audio, Compressed, Document etc.....
But I want to search only main folder in, not include subfolder..
Can be add a "Exclude Subfolder" option in the 'Search Menu'
Thanks & Regards

Prefix your folder search with the
parent: search function.
For example:
parent:c:\windows

Do you have a suggestion on how this can be improved?
There is also an option to do an
Advanced Search (in the menu, under the Search entry).
Most commonly used
search functions are presented here in a GUI, so you can specify to include subfolders or not:

With
Everything 1.5, you will be able to add \* to exclude subfolders.
For example:
c:\windows\*
will find files/folders directly in c:\windows (no results from subfolders)
A treeview/folder sidebar is also in development. (with a subfolders checkbox)

Well!
Thank You
First: BackSpace, bacause there is "one space".. Then "*"...
Good idea
That space might be removed from there ??
You can do everything!
Thanks again for Everything
Regards.

This only works (is equivalent to
parent:) when " March Whole Filename When using Wildcards" is checked -- or am I confused??

It works because
wildcards_star_all=0 (default) excludes the characters slash (/) and backslash (\). Thus, they will never match any file names beneath any child folders because a backslash would be present.
Use of globbing wildcards ? and * also make it so the entire pattern (a spaceless or quoted path) matches from beginning to end with anchorage because of
match_whole_filename_when_using_wildcards=1 (default). That is, the wildcard (*) doesn't just "give up" until it reaches the last character. If you changed this setting to 0 then the wildcard (*) would "give up" when it reaches a backslash (\), and succeed not fail.

I've not explored the macro function but I would presume if parent: is cumbersome to type you could give it a Filter equivalent named say p and then use p: instead of parent:
