Search for directories even if they contain a period

[alphonse68]

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
... and in times of pandemic, May "the health" be with you.

Now, when I want to search for directory names only, I use, for ex.:
*abc*.

However, this does not give me those directory names that have a period within.
I read "Search for:" in the help file, and I tried searching here, but the search words are way too common to give me any less than a few hundred results.
Can someone shine at least a flashlight on me, please?
Thank you.
Cheers.

Search for abc but before starting the search click the "Advanced" tab and choose: "Attributes" -> "Directory" (two clicks on directory, so it shows a checkmark √ )

Thank you, petermad. To be honest, I had never thought of Directory as an attribute. And as it turns out it is much simpler than typing all that I was.
Cheers!!
