Exclude Folders Problem

Post by rod147 »

I've noticed the exclude folders function does not work when searching across a mapped network drive on a server (yes I've clicked the Excl. box). :(

Just tested it, and it does work alright when you exclude the mapped name of the location.
Can you give an example?

Example, I wish to search the "F:\PROJECTS\" location plus all sub folders but excluding the folders; F:\PROJECTS\Prj1278\ | F:\PROJECTS\Prj1285\ | F:\PROJECTS\Prj1420\

The search still looks into these folders when I have excluded them.

You entered this to the exclude list? Cannot work: boolean logic is not supported in that list. Make each folder an item.
