Search for files where another file with specific name exists
Is it possible to search for a file if another specified file already exists within that directory? For example in a folder where invoice.pdf exists, find the *.csv file. I want to ignore folders where invoice.pdf does not exist. Does that make sense?

Re: Search for files where another file with specific name exists
To list the folders, please try searching for:
child:invoice.pdf
To list files, you will need Everything 1.5 alpha and the following search:
*.csv fileexists:invoice.pdf
file-exists:
child:invoice.pdf

Useful, I didn't know this one.
Conversely, is it possible to to find a file in a folder where a specific file doesn't exist?
