is it possible to add a option to select multiple drives in the search, right now i can only select one drive/path.
i tried searching for similar posts but searching for "search" and find wouldn't work.
maybe something similar to this interface (see how you can add drives / folders)

, maybe he can add a ctrl+click method when selecting the drives, should be an easy fix!

But...did you check the wiki? You really need to use that great resource also...It took me about 3 clicks to get to
http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/Fi ... ple_Drives where it's described..."File Find" is on left sidebar of main page, then "Multiple Drives" from menu, and I honestly didn't recall where it was on wiki so did it just like any user.
Also see the prior paragraph/section in wiki re: Multiple Locations, the tip about "Follow Folder links", and tip about "Search All Tabs"...this should provide enough methods to handle most all situations.

And what jc didn't say, is that with option "Selected Locations" enabled, you can just go to My Computer and make your choice, then XY will search in all selected drives!

Yep, and the next version will also fix the bug with the wrong "Visual Filter" overlay in the Location field when you state multiple locations separated by "|".
