    Question: search software for folders - highly configurable - needed.


    hello all,
    occasionally I need to search a folderstructure by depth of nesting of subfolders.

    For example, I want to be able to find all the 'subfolders in subfolders' in a folder.
    This can be done with a work-around with, for example, agent ransack, but I actually want a tool that can do it directly, without work-around: 'give me all subfolders in this folder at that specific hierarchical depth and not all other depths'.

    So I am looking for a tool (not a script, but a tool with a gui) that has a folder search function where the nest depth can also be indicated. Does anyone know about a tool like this?

    Kind regards, thanks in advance, Kan Lang

    Continued to search for a possibility in Everything. Here's the trick.

    Fill your number for the 'x' and 'y' and 'z':

    folder: depth:x..y

    determines the results to be between 'x' lowest hierarchical level and 'y' the highest.

    folder: depth:z

    determines the results to be at specified level only

    Thanks for your help!
