Searching Across Multiple Folders at Once.
I’m having this problem. I often need to search for text in files within a folder that contains many other folders. Searching the entire folder, including subfolders, takes a very long time. Usually, I know the 5–10 subfolders I need to search.
I’ve tried selecting them to search only within those, but the search only happens in one of them.
Is there a way to search only in the specific folders I need to check?

Semicolon delimited list of paths also works, eg:
Use double quotes () to escape any spaces.
For example:
c:\windows\;"c:\program files\"Use double quotes (
"For example:
c:\windows\;"c:\program files\" content:"foo bar"
