restrict search to certain drive letters

Post by dwilbank »

Good sirs.
Can I do this? (on the fly, I mean... without setting up an exclude list)

I can say m:, and only results from drive m: will show up, but if I go l: m:, no results at all show up.
I want to search on just the L and M drives.
???

Thanks

Please try searching for:

Code: Select all

l:|m:
The | means OR

I think he actually want an AND (combined with the OR).

So you'd have to "group" the drive letters together using < >.
So...

Code: Select all

< L: | M: > michael garrison
Would search for 'michael garrison' on either the L: or M: drive.

Or you could use:

Code: Select all

L: michael garrison | M: michael garrison
