How to find folder (directory) with an exact name?

Post by foldermonkey »

folder:"duran" finds folders "duran" and "ma duran".
I want to find all folders only with name "duran" from all folders(directories).
What am I doing wrong?

Please try the wholefilename: search modifier.

For example:

wholefilename:duran



wfn: or exact: are shorter aliases for wholefilename:

wfn:duran
exact:duran



The " " search syntax really means:
" " Escape operator characters.
