[Stupid question] Search filters for specific folders?
« on: December 18, 2016, 04:48 AM »
Is there a way to type db <search string> to search the folder "D:\Dropbox\Documents" without searching any other folders?

I actually did look at the help and settings and couldn't find any reference to this (maybe I missed it?)

Yes.
In this list of folders for each folder at the bottom you can specify "Optional Modifider Keywords", and then use +keyword to restrict a search to only the folders with that keyword.
