Windows 10: How do I search specifically for folders that have at least one subfolder in them?

As in I want the search result NOT to list up folders that do not have any subfolders in them.Is there a way?

:)

 

Windows 10 search for a specific folder name and file name

Carlos: Thanks for your reply. What you suggest is what I have been doing. I search for folders with a specific name and get a list. Then I have to search each folder for a specific file. So it's a two step search and that's what I was trying to avoid.

I assume there are applications out there that allow for an "AND" search in Windows. I'll try that approach.

Thanks, again.

Has the ability to turn off searching subfolders to the current folder been abolished?

Hi,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

Let me help you clarify your doubts.



The ability to turn off searching subfolders to the current folder is not abolished. If you are facing difficulties with the same, I suggest you to run
Indexing Troubleshooter and check if it helps

Follow the below method.

Method 1: Run Search and Indexing Troubleshooter.




If you're having problems locating specific files, folders, or other items on your computer, try using the Search and Indexing troubleshooter to fix the problem. It makes sure that the Windows Search service is running, and checks to see whether you have the
correct permissions to search all the directories on your computer.



Follow the steps given below to run Search and Indexing Troubleshooter.

• 
  Press Windows
  key + W key on your desktop.
  
• 
  Write Troubleshooting
  in the search box on the upper right hand corner.
  
• 
  Select the Troubleshooting
  option obtained after the search.
  
• 
  Select View All
  option.
  
• 
  Select the Search and Indexing.
  
• 
  Click on Next
  to perform the Search and Indexing troubleshooter and follow the steps.
