Searches are fussy. "cameramodel" won't work


I think the O/P is referring to Windows Search, not internet search
engines ...


Oops, yes, you're right.

Personally, I got fed-up of MS changing the search syntax too
frequently, so now I use FileLocatorPro.


FWIW, I haven't had to search for a file in a long time. That's because
I have carefully constructed folder-trees, and always put stuff where it
belongs. I also name (and rename downloaded) files so that they will
alphabetise in groups, easy to spot in Details View. And I avoid use of
"libraries" as much as possible.

Have a good day,


Is it possible to select non-contiguous folders to be searched? Say
one folder on HDD1 & a folder on HDD2?
