Search to include folder name?

[bsihsv]

I love the Vault "Filename Search" feature, but is there a way to include folder names in that search? Sometimes we need to search based on the name of the folder as well as individual files and I could not find a way to do this. If this is not possible, it sure would be a great feature/enhancement to add! (especially on a 50+ GB database like ours)

Thanks!

There's no way to specify a parent folder name in the search -- I can log this as a feature request.

The repository path column shows the full path, and is sortable, so that might help locating the specific file you need in the meantime.

I've taken a feature request for that. Thanks for the feedback.

I'm assuming that you don't easily see the folder you need to select for running the search in. Otherwise, I'd suggest selecting the folder you need it to be in and then run the search.

Right. Basically what I would like to be able to do is do a recursive search from the top level ("$") and find all folder names and filenames that contain the search term. This way any reference to the search term in any folders or filenames would be easy to find. Currently we have 7700+ folders in the repository and it is ever-increasing, so searching this way would help out a lot.

One other really nice search feature would be to search the history notes for specific terms, but that might not be possible with a reasonable level of performance. Certainly worth mentioning if we are listing possible future features though.

Thanks for the quick responses and hope to see at least the first option as a future feature.

There is a "comments" tab in the History Query dialog for this.

Ah...cool. Sorry about that then. I did not realize that.

Thanks!
