Cannot include specific directories in search

[Garlin007]

I have a FrontPage website, and I want to use Search to find, and Synchronize Dirs to compare, only files in the folders under _vti_cnf. (Practically every folder in a FrontPage website has a subfolder called _vti_cnf.)

The TC manual has this documentation:

New: Include/Exclude certain directories in the search. Wildcards can be used in include/exclude directory names, and the names must have a trailing backslash \ .
Examples:
*.ini | windows\ finds all ini files except those in directories called "Windows" and their subdirs.
*.htm? | _vti*\ finds all html files, except in subdirs starting with _vti (used by Frontpage)
windows\ system32\ *.ini finds ini files only in windows\ and system32 dirs

The first form of the command, by the way, works. I can use
*.*|_*\
to find all files except those in folders that start with _.

However, I have tried every which way, including:
_vti_cnf\
_vti_cnf\*
_vti_cnf*\
_vti_cnf\ *.*
and I am unable to find just the files that are in the _vti_cnf folders. Every search except the last one returns no files at all. The last search returns all the files, even those not in _vti_cnf folders.

I am using version TC 6.54a, but I have had this problem in earlier versions, too.

You can't do that, because then TC will not search any folders with different names, so it will not even find the folders called _vti_cnf\ !

What you can do is use the 3rd search page, 'plugins', and look for _vti_cnf in the full name (including the path).
