How do I search C:\ and E:\ when E is a USB thumb drive?

Ok...I've tried the obvious...didn't work...

I want to find any .xls file on either my HD -OR- my currently attached thumb drive...to help organize my files...I need BOTH results together in one combined list...

Using MyComputer doesn't include the removeable...so can XY do this?
If so...clue me in, please?

Location field: C:\ | E:\

The " | " is the delimiter for field names, it needs the spaces before and after. Path names with spaces in don't appear to require enclosing in quotation marks.

That should work - it does with "E" as my USB Zip drive so it should work with a thumb drive. I assume XY can read the thumb drive on it's own.

Seems I skimmed right past the part in Help file that said it needed a SPACE before/after the "|"....

That's all it took! Thanks!!

True, but after thinking about it I just made the spaces optional.
