I use this alias:
1000>>>mp3>->mp3 $$1 | dosearch +alb1_modifier +mp3_modifier $$1>+>^(?:mp|mp3) (\w.*)$

As you can see, the searchphrase mp3 something triggers a search in only the harddrive folders tied to the two modifiers (set in "Search Folder" options).

I want an alias that does just that AND also always return a link to one or more special folders (choosen by me) as the first match(es).

Example:

search: "mp3 beatles"

should return:
1. folder1
2. folder2
3. 01 beatles - I saw her standing.mp3
...

I think that kind of behaviour - being able to set one or more privileged matches that trumps whatever matching criteria the rest of the alias contains - could be useful in many other cases also.

Is it possible already without making a special plugin? If so, how?

its not a bad idea.. you can't do it currently but it might not be too hard to add.

probably the easiest way for me to add a feature to let you do that would be to let you add the fixed entries by specifying them after the dosearch line in the alias results.
