One way:
folder:"my documents"


Similar, but (rather) different,
\my documents\

Please use the folder: and wholefilename: search modifier and specify the full path to the folder.

For example:
folder:wholefilename:c:\windows

folder:wholefilename:"C:\Program Files"

in completing nice explanation of David
one of very beautiful and nice example for making any person familiar-solicitous with ev1.5 you can run 3 search for simple en showing Art of Ev1.5 for very fast purifying result.
en > gives above ~50000 results
ww:en > gives above ~10000
and finally
exact:en or wfn:en > gives below 1000 results (narrowest result)
i hope a day may be Dear David use this very extra nice example at first page of voidtools.com.
best thanks to David for this ultra extra nice software
