Enhancing "Find As You Type" Search Functionality to Include Collapsed Folders

Is it possible to enable search support in collapsed folders when using "Find As You Type" mode? This feature is incredibly convenient for searching specific information across large amounts of files and folders. Currently, it only operates on items that are visually displayed in the lister, not those hidden within collapsed subfolders.
While I understand that adding such support might introduce efficiency challenges, implementing user-controlled switches could be a viable solution. This would allow users to manually configure the search behavior according to their needs. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this idea.

You can search in subfolders using Opus’s built-in code, or via Everything or Windows Search, which are all available in the Find As You Type field.

See Preferences / Filtering and Sorting / Quick Keys for the keys to push for each mode.

Thanks. I looked into the clue you pointed out. Actually, what I want to achieve is something like the filter mode. Besides its current functionality, I wish for the subfolders and files that match the filter to be returned as well.

Before executing the search, you could run Expand Folders.

Thanks, that helps.
