Match Path option in Find in Results

Post by GeoNomad »

This suggestion is probably there, or perhaps there is an option I haven't found.

I have often found that I am using find on a result list and my expectation is that my search will include a string in a path. I wish there were a "match path" option in find.

Is there a way to do this now that I have missed? I am searching a dupe list or unique list for files in folders with "unsorted" or such things in the name.

As always, thank you for this invaluable tool and Happy New Year!

A Match Path option on the Find bar is on my TODO list.

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, the Find bar only searches the Name part.

Hi all, it's my first post here.

Another "related" proposal... related to paths.

I often look for a file to open the folder. Actually I have to do 2 click: right click on file name and open folder.

It could be easier if i could open the folder just double clicking on the path value listed in the path row.

Thank you. Everthing is one of the tools that force me to use windows :)

Thank you for the excellent feature! I really appreciate the ability to double-click the path bar to open the folder containing the target—it’s very convenient. I was wondering if it might be possible to add an option to have it open using Everything itself. This would make the feature even more powerful. Thank you again for your hard work!
