question about search folders options

[nitrix-ud]

hi

is there a way to remove folders from results ? (globally)

[feature request]
maybe we could specify it in the search folders options

in the file restriction inputbox :
-folder

i find it a bit annoying to have all the folders of the start menu when searching for programs, i think this would improve usability to be able to remove some of this clutter

i don't know about a setting. But you can add -\ to the search string to eliminate folders from result list. I guess you could create an alias to append -\ to every search string to eliminate folders globally or something.

thanks mouser !

i still would like the idea of the following feature request :
maybe a "folder" extension could be specify to improve restrictions in search folders restrictions edit box

[mouser]

can you explain what you mean?

[nitrix-ud]

maybe i did not understand exactly how FARR works about this, but the idea is to remove sub-folders from being "shown" in result list for a particular folder

[mouser]

ah i see.. yes i could add that.

great ! 

any feature that can help people remove unwanted results is good i think
