Everything search in Folder, without searching subfolders

Hello!

I'm new to both Directory Opus and Everything search, I know trying to get to know both at the same time probably isn't the best idea but oh well.

Im trying to search a folders contents with everything, for that I'm using the search bar at the top right corner of dopus and I did change that search bar to use the Everything search. When I'm in a folder it also says "Everything search in FOLDERNAME"

Now I just want to search that folder without its subfolders and without needing to type in another folder path / directory. I bet theres a super simple way to do it, but I couldnt find it yet.

I tried using "%1" to refer to the current path as I saw that somewhere in relation to Everything.
I tried using "depth:" or "parents:" setting them to 0 or 1
Here is the unwanted search result:


The "still tbd" sub-folder is searched

It did work when I used the parent: or infolder: parameters, but for that I needed to put in the path I was already in.
Here's the wanted result:


as you can see the stuff that is in the "still tbd" folder is not listed

Terribly sorry if this is a topic that doesnt belong here, I just couldnt find many tutorials on using Everything in connection with Directory Opus.

Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!

Is the aim to search for filenames (excluding all names containing "HEVC"), or file content (excluding all files whose data included "HEVC")?

Hello!

Its about filenames which shall not include the words "HEVC" but also only in the current directory, so excluding all the files in the "still tbd" sub-folder (or other subfolders if there were any).

In that case, you can use the Filter Bar, which filters what's visible. With focus on the file display, type a * to open it, then enter ~HEVC as the pattern to match all names that don't contain "HEVC".

That works very well, thank you!

Is there also a way to not show all the files of the .sfk filetype, with this method?
Im asking because I tried around a bit and I couldn't find an "and-operator"

~(*HEVC*|*.sfk), and ensure Match Any Word and Partial Matching are both off in the settings pop-up (cog icon).

Thanks for the help Leo!
