Limit Searching a Drive

[btreloar]

Whenever I've misplaced a file so thoroughly that I need to search the entire C: drive for it, I long for a way to exclude system directories like C:\Windows and C:\System Volume Information and such. My misplaced file is exceedingly unlikely to be in one of those directories and there's SO much in there that a search of the drive takes unnecessarily long.

Am I missing such a feature? Or would this become a Wish List item?

Its very simple, use Everything in TC and you get the result in a few seconds
regardless of the size of your disc.
Of course you can also make a TC Ignore list and switch this on before you search.

You can exclude directories by putting them after a | in the "Search for" field - for example:

Code: Select all

myfile.txt | windows\ "System Volume Information\"
