For example, search for .exe files in any directory whose name match "Users"
Seems parent/infolder only work with a full path, so the following don't work:
parent:Users .exe
infolder:Users .exe

Re: How to find files in a specified-name folder?
No, for example:
User\a.exe
User\Config\a.exe
I only want to get User\a.exe, since the folder of `User\Config\a.exe` is `Config` rather than `User`
User\a.exe
User\Config\a.exe
I only want to get User\a.exe, since the folder of `User\Config\a.exe` is `Config` rather than `User`

This will also match C:\Tools\MajorGeeks Windows Tweaks\Shortcuts\Switch Users\void wrote: Wed Mar 18, 2026 11:40 pm Everything 1.4:

Everything 1.5:

Guess it should be
\users\ *.exe
Re: How to find files in a specified-name folder?
Can you support `users\*.exe` for 1.4? I'm worried 1.5 won't release for a long timevoid wrote: Wed Mar 18, 2026 11:40 pm Everything 1.4:

Re: How to find files in a specified-name folder?
No, sorry.Can you support `users\*.exe` for 1.4?
For Everything 1.4, please try the following search:
regex:\\users\\[^\\]*\.exe$Everything 1.5.

@horst,
With the space in there, that would also find sub-folders that contained *.exe (& had a users\ folder name - somewhere in the path, but not necessarily a direct child of users\).
search: users\*.exe
finds
c:/users/red.exe
c:/users/blue.exe
c:/colors/users/red.exe
but not
c:/users/red/red.exe
Where with the <sp>
c:/users/red/red.exe
c:/users/blue/z/zz/blue.exe
would also be found.
