SC quicksearch: exclude excluded folders from result list?

[Filehero]

Hi,

from the SC quicksearch help:

Code: Select all

Use the /excl switch to exclude the contents of certain paths from the search results. It's the inline equivalent of the Excluded tab on the Find Files panel.

.....

· Like with the Excluded tab, the excluded paths themselves are shown (if they match the pattern), but not their contents. 

How do I search for directories (only) with the result list not containing the folder paths matched by the /excl switch?

Thanks,
FH

By filtering them out with formatlist() afterwards

I'm currently using regexreplace() for clearance, formatlist() seems to be a better choice, me thinks.

Anyway, a second SC call is required. Thanks for confirmation.

This is slightly off topic, but I was wondering if the /excl switch should work when searching tags? Basically I want to exclude tagged files from a certain path from results, something like this:

Code: Select all

text quicksearch("5 /fld=rating /excl=pending", "c:\test");

and if files are rated 5 in c:\test\pending they still show in the results, /excl seems to only work in file search not tag search, is that by design?

Looks like a bug to me. Good find! Gonna fix...
