Sometimes I want to limit my searches to a folder. Let's say Desktop. In that case I've found adding " \Desktop" to a search can fix that.
Let's say I want to find all the pdf's on my desktop, *but I dont want to include subfolders*. Is there a way to do this? My current search is giving me over 3K hits. I should be able to bring it down to like 20 if I eliminate subfolders.
Please help!
how to do these searches?

I think it's something like this:
Code: Select all
/bigdan/desktop/ !desktop/*

Please try searching for:
\desktop\ !*\desktop\*\*
The next major version of Everything will allow:
**\desktop\*
\desktop\ !*\desktop\*\*
