Excluding Selected Paths...
I see how to exclude certain words from my search: -word.
I see how to exclude certain words in a filename: turn "search in filename" on, and include -word in my search.
I have not found the way to exclude from my search those subfolder-paths that contain certain "words."
That is:
a) my path is C:\foldername\firstsubfoldername
b)I would like to exclude from my search all files found in the subfolder
 C:\foldername\firstsubfoldername\secondsubfoldername\EXCLUDEthissubfolder , and either
   1) just that subfolder, or,
   2) that subfolder and all its subfolders
Thanks in advance...

Well I thought I knew how to exclude selected filenames.
I want to exclude all files whose filename starts with --> _tobay <-- and regardless of file extension.
I have tried including --> -_tobay*.* <-- in both masks (preceeded by a ; ) and in Search-Query (preceeded by a space and with "search in filename" selected).
Neither have worked.
Again, thanks in advance...

Hi,
Normally it should work for Mask field. I will try to test it on
sample data.
As for folders, do you know that there is "Ignore folders" field in
Options - Advanced window?
