The search I want is essentially this:
Code: Select all
start "" everything -s folder: "Folder Name"
I'm seeking the folder's path. I don't want to specify a path in the search.
I'm having a hard time with the syntax. I think there are supposed to be multiple quotation marks around some of those elements:

But my attempts just keep generating messages that this is not a valid file list.
I'll be running the command in a batch file. Not sure how that will impact the situation.

Please escape double quotes with
"""
start "" everything -s "folder: """Folder Name""""
Escape spaces with double quotes (")
If you are using
Everything 1.5 :
start "" everything -s* folder: "Folder Name"
-s*
