Search for folders only NOT files...possible?

Is it possible to search for folder names only and not for files i.e., not the content of the folders?
When only looking for a specific folder, it can take ages if there are lots of files inside....
Thanks!

- If you're using the Find Files pane, check the Directory attribute.
- If you're using Quick Search, add the /d flag.
Code: Select all

Hello,
the filter works, but the search is not faster. The files in the folders are also scanned.
Is there a way to prevent file searching?

No, Windows does not offer this.
