how do i restrict results to just the parent directory?

Post by BigDan »

Question in title. I want to search for files in the C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads folder but I don't want files that are in folders within Downloads to show up. So Downloads\Movies\Top Gun shouldn't be a result.

How do I do this?

Code: Select all

parent:C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads

parent:<path>

    Search for files and folders in the specified path, excluding subfolders.

You can also do something like,
C:\Users\Administrator\Downloads\*
