Feature Request - Find folder names

<< < (3/3)

mouser:
this is similar to how i was thinking of things.

additionally i was thinking if your search string ends in \
it will show matching FOLDER (DIRECTORY) names.

so if you type
get\

it would display the full paths of all folders ending in budget\

if you typed \budget\ it will display full paths of all paths ending in \budget\

it gets more interesting when you have multiple paths
like \pro\find\*.exe
you might want it to match
\program files\find and run\*.exe files

cnewtonne:
yes. I guess my question here is there a scenario where this logic will not cover or create issues. The guidline is as follows...

- the use of '\' tells FARR to search absolute paths.
- Hits are displayed if path partially matches pattern. I'm no making a distinction between folders and files here (thinking unix). You may, though, in the display so that you can have folders displayed on top of files.
- no need to use wild cards in the pattern. I think FARR should internally construct the pattern using these characters. Some call this SmartSearch and it may be a user preference option. Bottom line, I need not type \prog*\adob*\*plug*\*.dll. This is redundant and unnecessary typing.

Please take a look at this nice product called link stash http://www.xrayz.co.uk/. It uses this to search IE favorites which are folder based.
