How can one search for files in a special folder / path? E.g. search for files only in folder(s) namend "This folder" or in this path: I:\Eigene Dateien\1111\2222

Does this work for you? :

Code: Select all

"\This folder\"

Code: Select all

"I:\Eigene Dateien\1111\2222\"

Yes, works great, thank you (so by adding a space and the search phrase after).

Is there a way to somehow add the characters automatically or easier than manually adding them(?): "\\"

You mean a way so that you don't have to type the \ at the end and/or start ?

Not that I know of.

To be complete: for this to work, Match path when a search term contains a path separator must be enabled (under Menu:Tools > Options > General > Search).
This is the default setting.
