Search folder names only

Post by Shutey »

Is there a way to do a quick search or filter that only searches folder names and ignores filenames. I couldn't find anything in the help files or searching the forum.

I know a normal search will find folders but when there are lots and lots of folders and many many subfolders not to mention 1000s and 1000s of files in them, the search takes toooo long.

I was thinking along the lines of a search string something like "foldername /f"?

Thank you

Thanks @highend

/f wasn't a bad guess then :)
