lazy folder search (QuickJump)

[v0idt00ls]

There exists a tool called TechHit QuickJump. One nice thing about it: The user can very lazily search and it will find the folder desired.

For example: Let's say there is a folder D:\_advanced\archive\carbon\_repo

In QuickJump, you can just type in whatever parts of the location you remember, like this:
adv arch rep
...and it will filter down to find that location (amongst any other matches).

But in everything it seems that to get the same result requires typing something like this:
folder: \_adv \arch \_rep
...where the user has to manually enter \ slashes and _ prefixes and also begin at the start of each word included.

This is obviously more laborious and can slow the user down a bit vs. QuickJump. Any easy way to make Everything behave more like QuickJump in this regard?

Enable Match Path from the Search menu and search for:

adv arch rep

Everything will list files and folders that contain adv arch rep anywhere in the path.

Or something like,

folder: path:<ftp turb tmp>

.

folder: path:<_adv arch _rep>

You'd have to see if the \'s help or hinder.

Can the '_adv arch _rep' parts be set as a variable?
Such that you could make a Filter (or Bookmark) that performs the wanted QuickJump on the variable parts?

So (in the Filter) something like

folder: path:<%searchbar-contents%>

.
And in the Searchbar, you simply type '_adv arch _rep' & the filter automatically replaces %searchbar-contents% with the search term, '_adv arch _rep'?

(And that would essentially duplicate the features of QuickJump.)

To create a QuickJump filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to:
  QuickJump

• Change the Search to:
  folder: search:

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filter Bar),right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
Filters can be organized from Search menu -> Organize filters.
