Is there a current feature in Everything 1.4 through which I can use variables in my search path?
We have our documents in folders by prefixes

Documents
│
├ ─AA
│⠀⠀├ ─AA1
│⠀⠀├ ─AA2
├ ─BB
│⠀⠀├ ─BB1
├ ─CC
│⠀⠀├ ─CC1

Is there a way for me to search a path with a variable? "C:\Users\Documents\<variable>" <AA> 1

I need to often jump between one prefix and another when searching documents.

I understand that I could setup a bookmark and macro for every prefix however we have a lot prefixes and I am hoping there is an easier way to accomplish this.

Please try the following filter:

• In Everything 1.4, from the Search menu, click Add to filters.
• Change the Name to:
  Documents Variable
• Change the Search to:
  "C:\Users\Documents\"search:
• Change the Macro to:
  dv<search>
  (dv can be any short text you like)

Searching for:

dv:AA

is now replaced with:

"C:\Users\Documents\"AA

Thank you so much! this exactly what I was looking to implement.
