How can i search for files of particular name within folders of a particular name?

Thanks.

By adding them |-separated to Location: and using a boolean OR-combined search in Name:?

Sorry, I don't understand your answer. Could you explain further, if you don't mind/

F1 - Main Topics - Info Panel - Find Files Tab

explains boolean and multiple location searches

AFAIK the OP's wish (find certain files within certain folders) cannot be done without scripting but as highend pointed out, you could do a boolean AND search for both names and then check the results.

If you are looking for a file named test2 in a folder named test1, you'd search for both names test1 AND test2 in location and it should bring up your result but it would also show a file test1 in a folder named test2.

I hope this made it somewhat clearer.

A script isn't necessary. To get exact matches you could also use a (name:... AND path:...) OR (name:... AND path:...) ... combined pattern.

E.g.: :(abc.txt AND path:R:\\tst\\1) OR (name:def.txt AND path:R:\\tst\\2)
Which finds abc.txt only in the 1 subfolder and def.txt only in the 2 subfolder but NOT abc.txt in 2, even if it exists there.

But these solutions require a large amount of typing (which ofc could be avoided by coding a script that translates the search terms into this pattern type)
