What seems like a simple task has proven difficult for me.
I am trying to search many terabytes of structured data for a specific folder named "RE" that is five levels deep, but the results keep showing other files and folders like "IRENE" or "READY" or "readme.txt". I was able to get rid of the "files" and only show "folders" by enabling only Advanced>Attributed>Directory, but that still gives me all folders that contain "RE", but not labeled exactly "RE".
Does anyone have suggestions on how to only search for the folder name with the exact string of "RE" five levels deep?
Thanks in advance!

When the search string contains a dot, Total Commander will look for the exact name match.
Try using to search for RE.
For the depth utilize "Search subdirectories" with max 5
or the plugin "filex" with option "DepthLevel" ...... sounds promising.

Me think "filex" its this plugin:
