Searching in previous search results

[clarkjohnken]

Hi! I'm wondering if there is an option of searching in previous search results? For example, I have a macro and want to find a file inside the results independently from macro itself. Something like nesting structure in search line:
CODE: SELECT ALL

macro: >> nested, but separate search query
I was trying to find an answer in faq and support sections, but couldn't. Maybe there are some workarounds to reach similar logic?

UPDATE: By saying "previous search results" I actually mean folders and files, that have been found previously.

If you are talking about an Everything macro, like audio: or zip: or one you created yourself, you can simply add extra criteria to your search query, like for exmaple:

Code: Select all

zip:    "X:\my files"

Another way would be exporting the current results and search exclusively in those results:

• Enter your macro in Everything
• Export the results as an EFU (File List) file:
• Menu:File > Export
  • Save as type: EFU Everything File List
  • Give it a sensible name and save it
• OPen this File List (Menu:File > Open File List).
• Enter your extra search-query
• When done, return to your regular Everything by closing the File List (Menu:File > Close File List).

(I hope I understood correctly what it is you want to accomplish)
