Find FOLDERS only, no files?

Post by randfee »

Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to find only folders? Using CTRL+F I see no option for that in the listbox that states "All types" and no checkbox-option for it. Using quicksearch and then help, I see that /f will search for files only, excluding folders, however, I can't find the inverse functionality anywhere.

So I'd like to know if this is already a (hidden?) possibility and either way, I would like to think that adding this visibly would make sense. As a search type in the gui as well as enabling some kind of syntax in the quicksearch bar.

thanks

thanks guys, as always, fantastic community here!

I really didn't know the attributes were related to the search result and needed to be activated using the "attributes" checkbox.
regarding quicksearch xy /d out of interest, where is this documented?
