I am trying to find all folders that contain the word "data" and only that ONE word. I would think folder:"data" would do that, but it doesn't. It's finding folders that have data in the name along with other words. So, folders with names like Data Entry, _metadata, AppData, .NET CLR Data, and so on, all come up.
I am using Version Version 1.4.1.1017 (x64).

One possibility would be:
See the Everything Search syntax help for details.
Code: Select all
folder: exact:data-
data

If you use "Match path" its better to use
folder: exact:Name:data
folder: exact:Name:data
