Thank you, and again thank you very much for your time and help to write this.
You say that the filetype/extension and subfolder-name to exclude (optional now) is configurable at the top.
The subfolder-name seems not an optional choice at the moment because now it takes into consideration the video_ts folder.
What do I have to change or write instead of "video_ts" to make it optional like you said? Or have I misunderstood you?
Ok, so basically it works for you? To select folders, which contain the given extension, regardless of any subfolder, just edit this line:
var excludeSubfolder = 'video_ts';
into
var excludeSubfolder = '';
Note: These ->'' are two single quotes ->'.
You may use two double quotes as well for strings in jscript: var excludeSubfolder = ""; which are much easier for the eye.
Clearing the content of the variable may not be the most elegant way of changing how the script works, but get's the job done.
I hope the button serves well for what Leo had initially promised.. o)
I've tested it on 3 folders. That seems to work. Now I'm going to test it on all my folders.
I'm having no line:
var excludeSubfolder = 'video_ts';
Only have this line:
var excludeSubfolder = 'video_ts'
Is that the line you intended?
Try to click the button, while you keep the left "ALT" key pressed down, then you should see a line like I described.. o)
You try to edit the "raw" button code in xml, this is not nessecary and makes it much harder to not screw the code up. Xml-files are very picky.. o)
Strange.... When I hold the left "ALT" key down (the one left to the space bar) and I press the button the code is executed the normal way. The ALT key doesn't do anything.
Preferences / Toolbars / Options / Alt-Click to edit Toolbar buttons needs to be turned on for that to work.
Thanks Leo!
Please excuse being so used to my configuration, thinking it is default for everyone!.. o)
Thank you for your effort and your patience with me.
The button serves well for what Leo had initially promised 
Leo, you may thank tbone because of him I'm willing to buy it. I would feel ashamed if I did not after all of his help 
I'll hope he will help me in the future also 
Is there a discount that I can find somewhere? Leo? 
Oh thanks, really, but all I know is' because of Leo and the guys doing excellent help and support here, so kudos to Leo and the crew, not nessecarily me.. o)
I hope you'll have some more greater moments with DO und us, cu around. o)
Can wildcards also be used in this line (example: *5.iso)?
var extension = '.iso';[
Is it only possible to search for an extension? Or is there a possibility to work with a part of the name?
For instance: If I want to search for DVD5 (part of "Cassadaga_DVD5.iso"), and select these folders.
Here you go.. o)

Enable "search stem" and enter "dvd5", additionally you also might enable "search extension" and enter "dvd5.iso" (will use full filename for search then).
Upper/lowercase does not matter, the search always looks for partial matches, so any wildcards like "*" cannot and shall not be used.
If things like heavy pattern matching is required, the text field could take a regular expression of course, but that won't work for now.
Thank you again. Just tested it, it seems to work. 
That's good!.. o)
Thanks tbone for this great button script. Great time saver.
Updated version, v0.2 using regexp search instead of simple ".indexOf()".
For simple searches with simple strings, it should work the same, just notice that you need to escape special characters with this one using a single backslash. "B.B.King (disc1)" should read "B\.B\.King \(disc1\)" e.g.

When i copy the .js file to the opus scripts panel in toolbars scripts it comes up saying "Failed (methods)" what am I doing wrong?
thanks.
The javascript code in the post just above (Jul 19, 2017) is for a Script Button. You can paste it into the button editor.
See the Script Buttons part of this post for instructions:
What you were doing (putting the script in a .js file and dropping it on the Preferences / Toolbars / Scripts page) would be right for a Script Add-In. But the script above is a more simple thing that lives inside a toolbar button.
Got this to work! Thank you for the guidance.
Now that I remember it, here's a related thread with a slightly different method/script, which might be useful if you want to use Tools > Find Files, or filters.
