I want to search subfolders without using quotes or commands. Match Path option is not working as expected.

Hello, I am having a lot of trouble with Everything's search logic. When I paste a full path to a subfolder, the program shows both the folder itself AND all its contents (and often files from the root). This is very messy.
In an app like MasterSeeker, there is a simple, intuitive way to search only within a specific subfolder without typing quotes, backslashes, or complex commands like "parent:" or "file:".
Please add a simple toggle or option in the Search menu to "Strictly limit search to current path". The current "Match Path" option is not a solution because it mixes everything together. Users shouldn't have to learn special syntax just to view one folder's content.

[void]

Right click the Everything search box, under Search function, click Located in....
Select your folder and click OK.

-or-

Enable Match Path and use a trailing backslash.

-or-

Copy and Paste the folder itself instead of the folder full path.

So your search is

M:\WinX

& you want to see children of it, but not M:\WinX itself?

M:\WinX parents:3

would do it.

But you want it automated, so maybe a bookmark or whatnot, could compute the parent parts of the tree, & add 1 to that & only present that to you (including file:, if that's what you're after)?

(count) M:\ = 1, WinX\ = 2, 2+1, so parents:3, & then file: ... & if that entire process could be automated, to work anywhere...

Or maybe one of the child functions could do it?
(All these parents & children & aunts & uncles never work for me.
To my mind, it's my father's brothers kids kid. Now that makes sense.)


Oh, you actually want,

M:\WinX parents:3-

, 3-, so including files in WinX itself too.
