What about
- "Find Files"-dialog
- Field "Search for:" ev:path:Folder searchwords (remark: "Folder" is the name of the folder)
- Field "Search in:" blank
- 'Everything' -> ticked
?
"Search for:" ev:searchwords is also possible.
Result:
Fast results in TC and all local drives (NTFS volumes) are taken into account - (controllable in Everything).
If not then check in Everything: Tools > Options > Indexes - NTFS if your harddrives are included in the database.
EDIT:
Sorry, correct syntax should be ...
Result:
Search all local drives for specific files in the FOLDER folder.

I totally do not understand. This is complicated in the TC.
I want to be found on all partitions (ALL LETTERS E-Z)
Folders with names
The beginning of "AB"
Incl. Subfolders
AND
*.jpg

I do not understand this code, all too confusing
I do not know where all of this type enter
It is hundreds of different folders with thousands or more subfolders.
I just want to look for specific folders, I do not want to look everywhere.
I do not like complicated commands, I like a simple regex

I suggest all should stop trying to help him.
Its almost useless as one can see on his last post.
He is not willing or able to follow simple advices
and doesn't most of the time not even try it.

So I have to type in the names of thousands of folders?- ev:path:Folder searchwords
-ev:PAT1 PATH2 PATH 3...(100 milion path) Enter?
How do I search folders by name only using Regex.
Other tool is based only on the regex (the simplest and fastest search without complicated commands)
Name: Regex
Folder & Sunfolder: Regex
but does not support the "Search by dimension"
Ask:
Please support Regex

Its wasting of time to read your postings this way
and it looks like no one can help you.

Code: Select all
3. Search subdir: current dir only
Basic prerequisites for a successful search with the support of the Everything search-engine:
A) Everything must be ticked in TC
B) In Everything this option must be ticked: Match whole filename when using wildcards (!) -> Menu "Tools" > "Options... <Strg+P>" > "General" > "Search"...
1. Search for (in TC): ed:folder:ab* OR ed:folder:case:AB* (case-sensitive!)
2. Search in: E:\;F:\;G:\; ... Z:\ [Button "Drives" -> "Local Harddisks" -> OK, delete "C:\;D:\" ...]
3. Feed to listbox
4. Search for (ALT+F7): *.jpg AND search in: Plugin ImgSize: imgsize Height 1400, imgsize Width 500
works too.
IMHO there is no need for RegEx in this case.

- I want to be found on all partitions (ALL LETTERS E-Z) Folders with names the beginning of "AB", Incl. Subfolders
- AND *.jpg Width:1400 Height:500
The problem is that because of your contradictory statements for you always new problems arise
and therefore it is very difficult to find the right solution for you:
- I just want to look for specific folders, I do not want to look everywhere.
- So I have to type in the names of thousands of folders? -ev:PAT1 PATH2 PATH 3...(100 milion path) Enter?
- 2. Search in: e:\;f:\;g:\;h:\;i:\;j:\;k:\;l:\;q:\;r:\;s:\;t:\;u:\;v:\;y:\;z:\
- Excuse me, but that does not exactly match the names of my folders and paths.
Further solution, because it is you:

E:\AB 1\
TC - "Find files":
ed:folder:case:path:E:\AB 1
Search in: E:\
Search in subdirectories: current dir only
Feed to listbox, ...
Only for comparison in Everything:
Code: Select all
Everything:
folder:case:path:E:\AB 1\ finds folder and path:E:\AB 1\ only
folder:case:path:E:\AB 1 finds folder and path:E:\AB 1\AB 1\ too(!)
Code: Select all
folder:case:path:E:\AB 1\
First, I want to find only specific folders from the matches.
Second, if you already find these folders from the matches that I can easily find the files.With regex enabled from the search menu, the search:
[E-Z]:\\AB\s
Should match:
E:\AB 123
[E-Z] matches letters E to Z
\\ matches a single \
\s matches a space.
Thirdly, do not use the application "Everything" because it does not speed up the search.
In the future, the developer Everything will have in mind to add support for a parallel search on the physical disks.
